I worked for NEC for several years. I always found their products to be good. However, I have not worked on any of the new stuff, so I can't tell you. The fact that the other two systems and close in price and the NEC is quite a bit less raises a small red flag. Most, but not all, phone system are comparably priced, os you shouldn't see a hugh difference in them. Make sure it is apples to apples.

We are a small business of about 6 individuals not looking to grow to more than 10 in five years. We need vm with 4 ports, 4 lines, 6 extensions. I went to buyerzone.com and several major brand vendors have contacted me with systems ranging in price from $2400-$4400. After sorting the details and making them comparable, I am apt to go for the cheapest. However, is there a particular brand best for small business? At this point we are leaning towards NEC for 2400.

If that's true how come no one ever heard of em?

</font> The Vodavi STS is priced right. Phones are good. But the In-Skin Flash voicemail is limited. Keep in mind Vodavi offers a 5 year warranty on their telephone equipment and a one year warranty on their v/mail. Good Luck! www.vodavi.com

I've worked on a lot of NEC (Elite, 2000, 2400 but not Aspire) and I can tell you that the brand is good, and that if it's installed properly, you will be very pleased.
You do need to have the Tech take some time for on-site training once the system is installed.
Also, ask the tech for his/her tech ID number (a five digit number beginning with an A, such as A1234) so that you will be certain he/she is certified.
Avaya also makes good small-office products, such as the Partner line, but they can be pricey, and under no circumstances should you EVER lease one. You'll pay waaaay too much if you lease.
ESI has some interesting products, lots of features built-in, reasonable price, but not dirt-cheap.
