Default Skytech Alarm System???

Im looking for an aftermarket alarm for my 350, and I was looking at the Viper 790 series but the company I called can't get it. The did say they can get a Skytech *777 series that has a two way transmitter, remote start, adjustability in the sensitiveness in the shock alarm, and costs $399 installed, and has a lifetime warranty. Does anyone have any feedback on the Skytech brand in general? They said the Clifford equal would cost $200 more, but the only advantage is it has a 1 mile radious for the transmitter. Is it worth it? Do these costs look reasonable?

quick question about the remote start feature on aftermarket alarms:

You don't typically put a remote start on a manual transmission since it's difficult to monitor whether the clutch is in and/ or the shifter is in neutral.

Not recommended.....

Or you can leave it in gear and have it lurch around... which is another feature.
