[ale] Best asterisk solution?

[Aaron Blowers]

**Disclosure: First Post on ale.org. Feel free to bash or tease if I am not following posting protocol.** 
Greetings all, 
I am a support engineer working in the metro-atlanta area and our company is ready to make the move from antiquated digital phones to VOIP. 
Is there a phone veteran or linux guru out there that has experience with asterisk and its various flavors? 
I'm interested in self-hosted solutions that can support over 200 end users, a 24/7 costumer service operation and possibly "click-screen-to-answer" integration. 
I'm familiar with the big players like Digium, but I'm wondering if there is a better way to get our operation up and running without the huge sticker price. 
Any thoughts, guidance or info is greatly appreciated, 
-ab
