Keyle, This could be late, but here's my submission.
Asterisk IP PBX by digium can offer you telephony features you can only dream of from legacy traditional PBXes. I've used it myself but it requires serious expertise. However, the "all-in-one" asterisk based solutions like asteriskNow, FLASHPBX,Tribox, ElasticPBX that come pre-installed with a Linux distro are alot easier to setup And admin being equipped with web-based management GUIs and also the necessary dependencies. Great thing about the open source PBX is that it's interoperable with a wide range of IP/SIP compatible phone vendors like Cisco, avaya, digium phones etc(check list from asterisk website), hence you avoid a vendor lockin problems.
