what research? and what features? It has built in window rollup, passive starter kill(meaning even if you yank the brain of the alarm the car won't start), wireless remote fuel pump disable(also known as blackjax, and THE ONLY ONE on the market), more built in relays than you can shake a stick at, programmable from remote or laptop, nightvision(it turns the lights on automatically at dusk), dual zone omni sensor remotely adjustable, self powered siren, digital tilt/motion sensor, and coded valet?????? Oh no wait that's an avantguard 4....hmmmm...and only $467 from here http://www.adelcom.net/CLIFFORD-avantguard-4-Page.htm

It's up to you, I have an RS3 on my bike, an avantguard 4 in my wifes car and a beast of alpine 8080 in my accord, and I'd take the avantguard any day. I installed for 5 years during school, and from experience my favorite alarms are prestige, not because they are are pieces of crap, but because I could have it installed in 15 minutes lol, and I charged 2 hours labor(the fun of being a sub-contractor), I hated cliffords, not because they are the hands down best alarm around, but because it took me hours to do a nice install with them
