RE: WAS: Visonic PowerMax... NOW: Supplier demos

["Paul Gordon" <paul_gordon@xxxxxxx>]

I'm sure there are a few suppliers who would be more than happy to have 20
or 30 -odd of their top potential customers visit their premises
chequebooks
in hand!!

I'm thinking particularly of those suppliers who already take an active
interest and participate in UKHA, and also those who are renowned for their
top-notch customer service. (which we are fortunate enough to have more
than
our fair share of in the HA scene!)

As has already been mentioned, some of these systems represent a very
significant outlay - my Comfort system set me back about £1500, and I spent
that without ever having seen it!! - I guess I'm just that kind of guy! -
but I bet there are some "waverers" who are considering such a
purchase, who
would be swayed by a convincing demo, and a chance to get to see and play
with the stuff in the flesh...

(sorry I keep using Comfort as an example, it's just because it is a good
example to use)...
