Car alarms?

Car alarms?
I'm shopping for one, I had been considering a Clifford but now i'm flipping back and forth between that and a Viper... anyone have opinions? Yes I know they're both made by DEI, are there any major differences between the two that would make one cost more than the other? This would be going in a convertible, i'm paying extra for a proximity sensor, and i'm looking for a 2 way system. Prices I have found (installed) are from $350-$600.

Re:Car alarms?
im kind of stuck on clifford since they have the blackjaxx sytem, you can find it on the intelliguard 750 and 850
basically its a key pad that is a starter kill , once you start the engine from the first time you hit the brakes it starts a 30 second count down, if you dont put in the right key combo then the car will stall. it resets if you open the car door with the motor running, so say someone car jacks you, once the door opens to pull you out if they hit the breaks the car will stall in 30 seconds.
to my knowledge viper offers nothing like this, even though they are the same company and use all the same parts in there alarm, viper doesnt offer it.
so either a clifford intelligaurd 750 or 850 or maybe the compustar.

Re:Car alarms?
I've got a Viper alarm with one of those pager systems. Its model 690XV, and I've had it for about a year. I can't say that its stopped car theft / break-in since I wouldn't know for sure, but it hasn't happened thus far. The pager also works within decent range... my friends like to ---- with me by tripping my alarm and making the pager go off. The only bad thing about it is the remote tends to take a bit of abuse if you attach it to your keys and you're clumsy with them. Prox. also might not work because the pager would constantly be going off.

Or you can buy the other one, with a remote that flashes and beeps, without the screen:

Being a DEI dealer, I don't want to downtalk any of there product, they make great stuff, but if you do not handle this remote with the utmost of care, it appears that it is susceptable to a premature death I gave my customer one of the companion remotes that I had in the store to use temporarily, it has no LED's or beeping and he said he actually liked it better. But it really defeats the purpose of the two way altogether. So, if she is dead set on the 2way, go for the LED version I guess.
