Learning Asterisk dialplans (extensions.con, AEL, etc) is different from using 
a Asterisk powered by FreePBX (GUI).

I would also recommend Polycom desk phones. Not sure who makes good cordless 
phones. I'm currently looking at a cordless from Yealink.

You should look into the PIKA WARP appliance as a PBX.

Even with a GUI Asterisk still has a learning curve, but nowhere near the time 
required if you were manually writing dialplans. SIP Station has an 
auto-configure module for FreePBX which will setup their SIP trunks with a few 
clicks.

I have experience with all of the above. Feel free to hit me up off list for 
more info and/or configuration support.
