Sonos and Prontos
Discussion
With respect, the only person who has answered the question is foliedouce.
Using an iPad ISN'T an infinity better solution. It won't control any of the other kit I need it to, means that I have to have another control device and is a less user-friendly solution for the O/H.
So, the Pronto Sonos app being a little slow is a trade-off I'd make. The comparison is between using the Pronto to control Squeezeboxes vs using it to control Sonos, not Pronto controlling Sonos vs Sonos controlling Sonos.

Thanks VEX and Foliedouce. At the moment I'm only after experiences from people who have used it. If it's not usable then I'll re-think it.
If it's comparable in performance to the Prontosqueeze setup then it could work. I'm looking for someone with experience of both, if they exist, to give a view before I spend money on Sonos kit.
I know Prontos are old kit now, but other than the failing Squeezeboxes it works fine, so perhaps people might understand why I'm not rushing out to buy four new iPads and all the other kit required to control everything if I can just add Sonos to the existing setup.

I don't expect you to be a mind reader, hence why the opening question was specific to using the Sonos plugin on a Pronto. I know there are other ways to do it, but I'm not interested in those at the moment, and that's why I didn't ask for advice on them. If the time comes, I will, and you'll be the first person I ask.
