I am looking at purchasing a new phone system and am not sure as to which one to choose. I have narrowed it down to about 3 or 4 brands, but would like some input to help make my final decision.

The systems that I am down to are: Panasonic TDA, NEC IPK or Topaz (Available in Australia - I believe this is a rebadged Nitsuko), LG Aria or an Alcatel Omni PCX.

What I would like to know is some sore or bad points and also good points of each system and a recommendation of which one would be best.

The specs for the system will be:

15 Digital Handsets
5 Analogue Handsets
4 ISDN Lines
2 PSTN Lines
1 External Pager
1 Music on Hold Port
The option for some sort of dialling option would be good (DISA?)
Ability to have extension voicemail would also be good (maybe for the future)
Ability to connect VoIP in the future is a maybe too

Any information with regards to this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in Advance.
