The quality of a conference phone is determined more by how it's designed and 
manufactured than whether it uses VoIP or analog. We've deployed a couple of 
IP4000s and they work great. The nice thing about them is that if you already 
have a bunch of SoundPoint IP phones, they require nothing special in regards 
to provisioning since they use the same firmware and configuration as the 
rest of the SoundPoint IP series.
