Recommendation for basic wired alarm

[colinmac]

In my last two houses I installed the venerable Scantronic 9448, which was a pretty straightforward task.

In the new house I'm looking for something that supports proximity tags for ease of use. A wireless fob would be nice, but not necessary.

So far I've narrowed it down to:

• Scantronic 9651-EN43
• Pyronix Euro Mini
• Texecom Premier Elite 24

Is there any other option I should look at? So far as I can tell, the Honeywell keypads don't have built in RFID and I don't want to have to fit an extra box just for prox tags.

Of the systems I've listed, is one a standout choice? I like the usefulness of Wintex for the Texecom panel but there's complexity there that I don't need. The Texecom's shiny keypad looks good, and the blue theme of the Pyronix is nicer than the grey-green LCD of the Scantronic, but I don't want to just go with cosmetics. Is one better than the others for ease of use, reliability, simplicity, etc?

Euromini ....for diy ...
Premier not really for diy
Scantronic ...ok but too expensive for what it is ...no better than Euromini

Thanks, looks like the Euro Mini is the way to go.
