"There are also far fewer Aspire dealers then IPK dealers out there."

I really don't think so.

"The Aspire is nice and had great features, but it is still a Nitsuko product and the phones are not as solid feeling."

NEC has had a huge effect on this. The casings are design are essentially made by the same company now...with the Aspire phones looking better IMHO.

Nitsuko was the manufacturer for TIE. Needless to say Nitsuko has been in the phone business FAR longer than NEC. Now, I am not here to tell you that either of these phone system are top tier. I deal with top tier phones systems everyday and no one here can tell me an IPK, Aspire or NEAX qualifies for such a spot. As far as the scare factor...why would someone be afraid of the name Nitsuko that made TIE equipment? Why would NEC buy Nitsuko and then tout Aspire sales as the LEADING NEC selling product? Hmmm?

NEC is #3 in sales behind the big 2 ..........

THat must mean something...........

THe ASPIRE is a top notch communications product.

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.

go to https://www.neccare.com/contracts/associates.nsf/search

and see how many Aspire and how many IPK dealers there are for your area. In NY and NJ it's not even that close.

I'm not saying the Aspire is a bad product, its very nice, but its still made by Nitsuko and sold and serviced by the old Nitsuko network.

Also, NEC direct only sells the IPK, IPS, NEAX lines, not the Asprire, so that should tell you something about their corporate thinking and their major product line.

You are absolutely wrong. NEC has a vested interest in the Aspire. And I would bet that the Aspire is beating the other NEC products in ports sold. I actually like the Aspire for what it is. Simply comparing the amount of people that sell a product is well, rather a lazy way to prove some point. Some products require an incredible amount of training AND financial capability before they allow you to be a dealer.

That's partially my point. IPK dealers have been through the ringing by NEC to become dealers. Nitsuko would give a dealership to anyone and mostly to people that couldn't get a dealership from a major brand.

You don't think NEC has corrected this? Why would you think that? I mean I have seen you sell mainly key systems. What do you REALLY think it takes to install a key system? I used to work for a company that serviced all brands of KSU/Hybrid systems and basically if you knew telephony and had a manual you could easilly work on a key system...well mabe not a Panasonic DBS because it's just weird.
