It's fine to know about Grandstream.

I'm very curious to gather "field proven" experiences as the reason why some
vendors (such as aastra) limit BLF number (too much time to register each
BLF during boot ? ...) while they offer a larger number of buttons, might be
ones that make a trial fail.

Indeed, several IP phones support 100 and more buttons but how many of them
support BLF features successfully ?

If Snom user could also testify, that would be very interesting to know.
