Wired Alarm recommendation

[LearningSpark]

Looking for recommendations for a wired alarm for my dads new house. I was going to fit wireless but have been today and lifted some floorboards and it looks like I can get where I want with cables. Only looking for a fairly basic system, 3 PIRs, remote keypad, external sounder. I quite like the sounds of this one:

I like the Texecom panel and bellbox, but not keen on their PIRs. I would go for the Optex RX40QZ - have a look on the Security Warehouse website. The parts come to the same price as the CTS kit.

Take a look at the castle euromini , would rate it above the excel, 4 easy sets , prox fobs 10 zones if you eol, they do a secure kit with 3 pirs and a bellbox ( alert electrical )

I looked at the Euromini but found the user interface (according to the user guide) a bit of a faff to omit zones, for example. It was a close contender for me as well, but the Texecom won on apparent ease of use

Thanks to both of you for your replies. I am not over bothered about ommitting zones, as long as I can set up a full set and part set mode for him that will be all he ever needs. Like you said they are both very similar but I have decided to order the Castle euro mini secure kit from Alert. No doubt I will be back on here asking for advice on how to set it up when it arrives
