It would put me in a very bad position if these lines were
discontinued, I've been using GE products for my installs since 2002.
I really doubt they would drop the Concord series. Even though I don't
think very highly of big slam install companies, Protect America for
instance, they do move an enormous amount of  Concord and Simon
equipment. It would seem like a mistake to chance losing that market.
