The Premier is not, not, NOT a DIY panel!!! It is BETTER than honeywell galaxy for ALL installations! The Veritas, I agree, is DIY and I do hate the transformer, but the Premier is the best panel on the market today.
NEVER JUDGE A PANEL JUST BY ITS INSTALLATION MANUAL!
The way the manual is written does not "automatically" influence the quality/excellency/"professionality" of a panel. It is simply telling you how THAT panel works and how you connect the zone wiring to THAT panel!!!
