RHC: Not sure why you would replace that perfectly good panel but you
must have your reasons. The Paradox SP7000 panel would do depending
upon the number of zones you require. If you need wireless you can get
it built in with the SP5050, or add a wireless expander. Then you have
a choice of three levels of keypad as well (for ease of customer use I
always install the high end LCD one (hey...why put cheap tires on a
Cadillac product.....?.....:))

I suggest you stay away from the Digiplex lne - too complicated for
the end user to make any changes. e
