Why? Nothing wrong with a global tamper. imo...
As Tel says, they are with the budget panels but some of them panels are good.
Because for not a lot more money you can buy a premier elite panel or similar thats a lot more versatile...plus if you ever have a tamper fault it tells You what zone....saves going around every device....I won't entertain the idea of installing cheap budget alarms.

My go to choice when installing alarms as part of a rewire/newbuild is premier elite panel, recessed RKP and odyssey x3 bell.

Start with pyronix I think that's 're the vesya 2nd once you do one nearly all are the same based on the same principle. Relatively easy to pick up and installer manuals are usually very detailed
 
I agree hard wired is the way to go for a decent install but this day and age some customers hate anything that is visible and prefer wireless due to the convenience. if doing other work or a full rewire then wired is the way to go. But if they want quality then they have to understand the need to route cables properly.
I had a customer once ask if i could add some extra sockets but didnt want me to chase the wall from the floorboards up to positions and it couldnt be surface mounted as it would ruin her freshly decorated lounge.. i had to explain electricity is not like wifi!! it needs cables....

You are doing it all wrong........ Did the customer specify she wanted the sockets to work????? You could just sick the sockets to the wall using blue tack and hey presto, job done....
