I used to not care much for the Ademco brand, I felt the low and mid-end
panels were way long in the tooth as far as capabilities. Then they brought
out the 15P/20P and that opinion changed, I can do a ton of things with
timers and outputs that I can't do with any other panel.

The other reason is support from the manufacturer

And much more difficult to setup. I have 2 test panels at my house, one with
a 7845i Internet module and the other with a 7845iGSM Internet/cellular
module. Pretty sweet stuff
