Dang, I am so PROUD of this thread! I don't recall who made the statement a dozen or more posts back, but he's got the 'hot setup' in my opinion. "combination of TDM and VOIP is best".
When I was young, I was Liberal. As I aged and wised up, I became Conservative. Now that I'm old, I have settled on Curmudgeon.

This is a great thread Lightning.
Lots of excellent points have been made here for both sides. There is no right answer.
I think it really comes down to where your expertise lies and the particular application. Obviously my expertise is in networking and IP.
A few important points for me that I don't think has been expressed here are vendor lock-in and common infrastructure and skills sets.
SIP to the desktop is one way to avoid vendor lock-in with the bonus of mobility inside and outside of our facilities.
Common wired and wireless infrastructure to service wired and wireless PC and telephony devices has a lot of benefit but...that single infrastructure has to be rock solid. Since the data side of my job requires that it is already there for the voice.

Yes, to answer someone's question directed at another person, I do as a matter of fact use vinyl LPs and 45s. THough they do not have the dynamic range of a CD, they are actualy very natural sounding, compared to the 16 bit digital recordings on CDs and WAY better than MP3 audio.
Heck, I still use a Teletype (cap T) to print news feeds.
But then, I also have a 1A2 system that I am restoring, and will use that in my home as well.
No, I do not reject computers or networking. I will install a network as well. I simply will not use it to talk on. I will use a POTS line and analog telephony equipment from the days when phones were phones and men (and women) knew the difference between plastic junk and the real thing... (-:
Real comms took 200lb teletypes, hand keys, sounders, operators and cranked phones!
