It is a great panel, I use them almost exclusively.

Your list of devices:
6160RF keypad
Future upgrades possible:
- up to 10 2-wire smokes (2W-B or 528BXT?)
- 7845i-GSM
- 2x keyfobs; 5804E?
- 7x rf GBD; 5853?
- CO sensor; suggestions??
- rf motion sensors; 5890PI
- 3x rf flood sensors; suggestions??

Is going to be too much for the built-in power supply to handle, so you'll need
to get an auxiliary p/s to handle all those devices (anytime you add cell backup
to a v-20p you need aux-power).

For the flood sensors I'd use wired Winland Waterbugs if you can get a wire
there*.  528B series are great smokes.  5804 are versatile fobs.  5853 audio's
work well.  5890PI PIR's offer good catch and false alarm immunity but do not
use them in areas where pets are present, despite the PI designation.

*For the sauna temp monitoring AND (3)flood sensors you can use one unit, the
EnviroAlert® Four Zone Digital Environmental Monitoring Alarm EA40012 from
Winland.  Purchase the (3) waterbug sensors PN(M-001-0006) and the SS High Temp
Thermistor Probe (32 to 299° F) PN(M-001-0081).  You can locate the EnviroAlert
anywhere and run your sensor wires to it, and have a 12v power source there too.
Then if need be use wireless 5802 x-mitters to monitor on the V-20p.
