[asterisk-users] Grandstream GXP2000 -- What's the Catch?

[Jeronimo Romero]

We are doing a medium sized office in NYC with 80 phones. The customer
originally requested Polycom 601 phones. The COO also authorized us to
purchase 2 Grandstream GXP2000 phones for the mail room. We find these
phones much easier to configure and work with asterisk . They support
BLF & intercom right out of the box. They can also be centrally managed
and provisioned. They also sound great and work in a very intuitive way.
We don't have real life experience deploying this phone so I'm just
going to ask:

 

Is there a catch?  Why the huge price difference? These phones seem to
do everything a busy corporate office would need. Is there a big
qualitative difference between this phone and Polycom501/601?? Is there
a major problem with this phone not disclosed by the manufacturer or
vendors. Some feedback from people who have deployed them would be
great. 

 

Thanks In advance. 

 

JR
