I have to say the P1632 is my main stream panel.  I never use the 3200
anymore.  I jump up to the 9600 if I need more zones or more programability.
They both have a nice menu programming feature for basic setup, and then 'by
address' programming for the detailed stuff, or just break out the laptop.

The P800/1 is my low end panel and it is very very easy to setup.

Those 4 zone Express panels never impressed me.  Kinda in the same class as
the DSC 550.  Sorry, that just trying to shave way too much off the cost of
an install.
