Advantages
Wireless keypad
Proxy tag arming/disarming
Bi-directional CO detector and keyfob

Drawbacks
Only 2 hardwire zones
Non-standard, not easy to find battery
No compatibility with existing DSC expander boards
Awkward method of adding 2-way voice which requires another box to fit
the PC5950
Very little aux power
Limited to one type of keypad which is wireless
Proxy tax is rather large
Bi-directional keyfob is kinda sucky

The only advantage to the system is if the installer is too lazy to
run a keypad wire, other than that you are better off with a PC1616
