Readability of Elk Keypads

I'm looking to select an Elk keypad and could use some help.  The homeowner cannot read fine print well and doesn't wear glasses all the time.   I'm trying to decide between the KP2 and the KPNAV.   I have the KP2 in my home and like the recessed look along with the speaker behind it but the text on the buttons is a little small.  How does the KPNAV text size and readability compare to the KP2?  
 
They will only be using the alarm portion of the KPNAV.  I understand the KP2 keys will become 'second-nature' once they get use to it but these are not tech-savy people.  If they can't read the keys they will struggle learning and using the system.

Thanks for the help!
 
Regular KP would be the best for legibility.
 
The keys on all the KP's are relatively small compared to other system manufacturers.
 
The NAV and KP2 are similar IMHO to size and legibility.
 
Hardware becomes more habit after time than soft buttons - for that reason I'd stick with KP2's.   I don't even look at mine when I press buttons on my way out - I just know what to press.
