I might.  The difference is when a customer asks where the monitoring
station is, and I can say it's in PA, it gives them a warm fuzzy
feeling. Does it really matter as far as service or security? IMHO no,
but in my experience people not in the industry, i.e potential
customers, really like that type of thing. Obviously it really comes
down to quality and pricing but if I can get those from an in state
company, why not?

anyway, I think I'll call tomorrow and check it out.
