I would also take a look at the BT VP1000, that can be found a lot cheaper
(no external siren though), eg:

It is basically the PowerMax+, but rebadged. There are some limitations, eg
X10 is disabled by default, default setup for the BT home monitor service,
but there are solutions to these.
If you want HA/X10 integration with Visonic/BT I would suggest the rfxcom
device that can decode the RF from the sensors. (see mini review on
automatedhome.co.uk)
I was very skeptical about wireless alarms (reliability/wireless
range/battery life/etc). My VP1000 has been installed for nearly 3 years,
n=
o
issues, and still has all the original batteries in the PIRs & door
sensors
