Is the only difference between this and the M1XRF2G what brand of sensors they support? That's what it looks like to me. Any advantages of one over the other?

If someone has an existing Honeywell installation they can salvage their RF devices. This is great for someone upgrading a Vista system to an ELK. I have been waiting for this as I have someone with an Ademco system that they want replaced but dont have the money to replace everything.
