Damn Dim Dimmers. WTH?

I recently replaced a couple dimmer switches with some dimmer switches with motion sensors . . . and now they don't go to full brightness. ...not even close. ...maybe 80% of full. I've tried two different brands; both are dim. Jumpering the circuit really shows what's being lost in the switch.

Maybe it's just me, but at $40 each, shouldn't they be a bit better than that?

Suggestions?
