Are you aware of any limitations of SharePoint Calendar view?

Question

Hi all,

I trying to find if SharePoint calendar view is the best fit to display event details.
There will be around 2000 events / meetings happening in one month. 
I would want to do some color coding in the Calendar view based on the type of event.
I am looking at adding some filter criteria to the Calendar view. Display events based on some criteria.

Kindly share your knowledge

I tried to do some check, i found the following:
1) The view [Day / Week / Month] doesn't display all the events if the number of events are huge [like > 1000 in my case]
2) I am not able to provide color coding as the OOB Calendar control is a ListView webpart which doesn't expose the XSLT
3) I found that the OOB Calendar - ListView Webpart doesn't accept connections (correct me if i am wrong), How can i add a filter criteria then?
