This set has an extra phone that is handy. However, it came with no instructions, the new system had smaller keys, and it didn’t light up when some one called and I was out like the old Panasonic set did. I bought the warranty contract and hope that I won’t have to use it, but don’t know as I ‘ve Had some small issues with one phone already. Only time will tell.i
Do not know yet if it is better or not. Have to use it for a while.
