New Alarm - Which are compatible with Vera?

I have two DSC alarm panels. One recently got zapped by lightning. Unfortunately it was a DSC PC1550 which they don’t sell anymore.

Any suggestions for a new alarm panel that would be compatible with Vera via the Envisalink 3? I just need a very simple 8 zone system. Nothing special.

I have the DSC PC1864. There is also the PC1832 which has fewer zones and is less expensive. In general, it seems the consensus on this forum is that you should stick with the PC18xx panels if you go with DSC (which many seem to prefer).

You can swap out the main board with any Current Power Series and therefore, no compatibility issues and programming using knowledge already acquired. All are compatible with EVL3
