With our company being a Honeywell dealer and that being the main security panel that we use with our integration I will be the first to tell as far as ease of programming and integration with Crestron the GE panels are much friendlier and price competitive (nx8e vs 128bpe). Also the Sequel panel was a waste of money and you would be much better off with GE, Elk, Honeywell or DSC. The GE and Elk panels seem to be the fastest two when it comes to communicating with Crestron, the Honeywell panels can be pretty fast also but it takes much more work with making adjustments in the security panel settings to get to that stage meaning more time if you are not very familiar with their brand. The new rev 4 panels are also faster and more friendly with Crestron, but still in my opinion based on price and ease of integration with Crestron GE is the best all around for the job.
