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.
Had an aquisition in my old patch that did loads of this, tbf they often spotted a 20mm hole in the boards and tucked it down there, every older system had loads of internal doors and mats usually on the 3rd step and near the lounge windows. Looked after loads of 20-25 year old (then) systems.
