As an Aspire dealer, and also servicing the IPK/Elite series in my area,I too believe that the Aspire is superior.
BOTH systems are manufactured by NEC Infrontia Inc. Wholly owned by NEC Corp. of Japan.
The Elite/IPK still uses the software layout from the old E-pro series and Nitsuko built the E-pro series as an OEM for NEC.
The Aspire is soon to go to 384 digital station ports and many more enhancements.
