I am using the Audiocodes 114 and it's very reliable and passes good 
quality audio for all of my users.

I would stay away from Grandstream, unless you want grey hair.

There are MANY configuration options on the Audiocodes unit, which I 
see as a positive, but it might also increase the initial setup and 
learning curve.
