Chose the hardwired panel over the wireless one on a big new build and it paid off way faster than I thought

Last month I had to decide between a ProSeries hardwired panel and a Qolsys IQ Panel 4 for a 4,500 sq ft new construction house. I went with the hardwired because the builder let me pre-run wires in the framing. Installation took maybe 2 hours longer than wireless would have, but the signal rock solid in every room. No battery changes for years and the customer loved not having sensors blinking. Has anyone else found hardwired still worth it on new builds, or am I just getting old?

A buddy of mine did hardwired on his place and never looked back.

Ha! You're not getting old, you're just not lazy. I bet all those blinking sensors kept the customer up at night like a tiny disco party in their hallway.
