Interesting - I've been narrowing into DSC so far, and the programming does seem simple... but awfully archaic (unless that's by design). Does the touchscreen improve programming any?

My issue with going wireless is range - the house is basically a stick bungalow, but it's 90 feet from one side door to the other. More if I include the garage. Not sure whether they'll reach. On the other hand, unfinished basement and no upstairs means stringing cables should be relatively straightforward.
