Default Can't decide on alarm!!

Hi guys, I really cant make my mind up on which alarm to get now!

I don't want to spend big money, but obviously want as much as i can get for my money.
Its down to two alarms really now in my mind.

1. Clifford Concept 470
2. Viper 460XV (thatcham cat 1)

from what i make of it they're both pretty much made by the same people!

Just can't make my mind up... the viper has more features and more aux outputs but the clifford has... the name and the reliability, you can get spare key fobs and accessories for both just as easy.

Suggestions please people

Yep both are from directed (who own cliford) i'd personally look at the viper 480xv or the 500 xv as they are both pager systems and are both under £350 fitted from most dealers

Cheers, Only thing that worries me about the Viper is the quality of it!? Is it going to be nearly as well made as the clifford? or is the key fobs going to fall apart after a few months use?

I had a cheap alarm before and the bloody key fobs just broke one after another!

Any more opinions people?

The 460 is a fantastic alarm and it has really nice remotes as well.

Go for that one and you wont be disappointed.

the viper 460xv and concept650u mk2 are about 99% identical. The differences are minimal....

but yeah the 650 is a great alarm... but the viper is just a little bit different from the norm.
