Well, unfortunately, I can't tell you much about the Paradox system - I've never installed or worked on one. I don't think they are as popular in the SouthEast as they are in other parts of the country and even the world.
I can tell you this much, just from what I know from posts here and other places online, the Advent system is much easier to program then the Paradox systems. As for features and benefits, I believe they are about the same.
Personally, I use only ITI equipment - it's so simple and reliable, for me there's no reason to use anything else (unless the customer specifically request it.)
Maybe MrRon or some of the other guys around here will have more experience with Paradox systems, wish I could help. I've been hearing a lot about them lately and I'm getting curious myself.
Good luck! Let me know if there is anything I can help you with.

Nope, we're primarily Networx and Ademco, these days, with a scattering of others, I only know Paradox from their spec sheets. Their specs and feature list does look pretty nice, though.
