Re: Combined Load on Vista 20P

["Mike" <reply@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Funny i just got off the phone with a local Bosch/Radionics distributor. I
was looking to purchase one of the Bosch Motion sensors model DS835i.
He kept trying to sell me on the Radionics panels and equipment and saying
that Ademco stuff is like a Chevy compared to the Radionics/Bosch Cadillac.
I told him thanks for making me feel so much better about my choosing the
Vista 20P.
I didnt expect a Bosch distributor to praise the Ademco stuff, but he went
on and on about having dropped the Ademco and Napco lines years ago and
would never recommend anything but the Radionics.
I briefly saw Radionics/Bosch systems mentioned in my researching.  Should
this be a Panel worth considering for the DIY'r?
