End users don't care about 2 of those 3 and the third they get used to. iirc to set the brother in laws you pressed 2 buttons, (running man and 1 or 0) doesn't get much easier than that.
If it's served him well for 15yrs I'd say that it is (putting aside my personal thoughts on Pyronix) brother in law had a Pyronix panel in his house for c20 yrs up to moving, again that's done it's job imo.
I'd look at the Texecom range btw.
