Jayaram swami,

This doing of other homas by srivaishnava's have come
as we all need immediate fruits. The Saivas or these
devathas are the heads of the panchayats. They attend 
to the petition immediate or so is the belief.

But Sriman narayana on the advice of SRI is the only
purusha, which means he is alone the giver of etrnal
bliss.

People indulge in lesser things due to their lesser
development of self.

FYI, my grandfather used to read the Sundara kandam
daily, and the parayanam of Sahasranamam is a must for

us. Only this alone is warding off all the evils for
us.

Of late I know of a family who perform only Sudarsana
homam for any thing in their family. Not to say they
are without any problems.

I am also planning to do a homa every year.

Anyway beyond all this only our constant thought
focussed on him brings all the happiness.

Desika stotras as ramasamy swami says can be invoked
for immediate benefit in a particular situation.
