If you get an installer that knows Risco well, the Risco panel will be fine. Risco is our budget system, and to be fair they did go downhill for some time, and the programming can be unnecessarily complicated if you are not familiar with programing them, but touch wood I havent had any problems with a Risco panel for the last 9 months and the app is one of the best. Our premium systems are HKC and Vanderbuilt (Siemens) and like for the like the Risco app is as good if not better in some ways. The only thing I would say is that the keypad is a bit cheap looking on the Agility.
