Well my issue is having the pager. It is a must for me since your alarm does no good if you can't hear it. The distance on their web site is very conservative, and is about right if you are shooting through a bunch of buildings. You are correct about the features of the Avant Guard, but it is still quite a bit more pricey and no pager. This pager has helped a lot, and that is why I chose it over the Clifford. I can get this compustar for 450 installed and that is an extremely good deal since it does take a while to install. I respect your opinion, but the pager for me is a real must.

Also, their website is not quite up to date on some of the features. Like the alarm has 7 aux ports, not 2. That is the first thing that jumped out at me.
