With your ability and mentality you would be better buying anything really that uses a pure R-Net system.
I bought 2 normal R-Net chairs. Sunrise in this case.
After looking around for a couple of years realised that this was now the only non locked down system, that we could get an OEM level programming capability for. Now the only game in town worth considering.
So I went on here, eBay etc and managed to buy THREE complete top of range genuine R-Net sunrise/generic parts to equip 3 complete power wheelchairs with tilt, lift, recline, lift, power legs etc. And full programming and configuration capabilit WHILE I CAN!
To do this with all R-Net parts is easy. You only need th following:
Two bus cables and a battery loom cable.
1. A joystick (any R-Net but not the cut down permobil one you show in your pics) I used the CJSM2 generic.
2. A 120A power module - any from any brand chair.
3. An R-net seating module ISM6L which is tiny and fully configurable with the generic or sunrise OEM software which we have available here... It is a fully programable 6 channel seating module and also lights. See images.
Thats it. And 3 complete systems, all eithr brand new, pulled from new chairs, or factory refurb brown box R-Net parts cost me around 1k for the lot. This includes an attendant joystik too.
See here.
Economic and the best and completey user configurable system for all. It may not stay this way as every manufacturer seems to be hell bent on stopping end users having the control they need. R-Net (minus the permobil parts like the joystick, switches, their own gyro and control algo, the ICS system is all designed to tie you to their apron strings and be reliant on them $$$$. Its not so much the money but the reliability issues, lack of user control, and the sheer time wasted while watching them as you say clutching at straws because they cant figure it all out etc.
If anything failes on my chairs it has to be one of the 3 things. The SEATING module. The JOYSTICK module. The POWER module. Or a bus cable, battery cable.
And I have 3 of each ready to swap out sat on my shelf cheap, and already programmed to go! Plug and play.

This is a complete system, minus the battery loom. For 120A control, inc lift, tilt, recline, power legs inc length, and lights. Except that yu need 2 of the bus cables (on the right). I bought a box of them on eBay for £60 of every length imaginable. That entire photo cost me £320. And is everything.
This is all thats required. for say this chair.
