What is better the IPK or the Aspire and why?

Having never worked on an IPK I really can't tell you that one. The only thing that I have seen is that the Aspire phones look better.

any other takers on this question

I would get a demo of both so you can see.

Aspire by far.

Why is the Aspire better?

Both systems are very good at what they do.

The IPK series is an Elite with added Voip software and hardware (The IPK still uses the same programming as the Elite and some of it goes way back to the E-Pro series).

The Aspire was built from the ground up to be a Voip system. ( It uses the same software programming as the i series also).

The IPK must use different cards to get LCR, Caller ID, Caller ID scrolling, and ACD.

The Aspire has all this built in albeit you have to have a different CPU or Upgrade chip.

So I would have both dealers give you a demo.

Remember the system is only as good as its installed and programmed.

And dont forget service after the sale!

Well, they just came out with Aspire XL up to 386 stations.

System administration is alot better for one.
Has a web interface that you can access from anywhere in the world "if setup".

look at the NEC site the Aspire outsells the IPX by far.
