Was dead set against wireless sensors until last week's retrofit job

I always swore by hardwired alarm sensors, thought wireless was just for homeowners who didn't want to drill. Then I had to install a system in a 1920s brick building downtown where running wire would've taken me 3 full days. Used the Honeywell 5800 series wireless sensors and the whole job got done in under 6 hours. Any other installers here made the switch and found it reliable enough for commercial work?

Wait, have you seen the failure rates on those yet?

Wait are you serious? I hadn't heard anything about that yet. The last batch I saw looked pretty solid in the early reviews but now you've got me worried. My buddy actually just bought one last week and now I'm kind of freaking out for him. He's had nothing but bad luck with electronics lately so this would just be the cherry on top.
