My DECT 'phones let an incoming call ring for the maximum allowed, then
the answering machine part answers, and allows me to screen the call. I
see nothing wrong with your setup, but I don't see an advantage either.
Except probably a bigger 'Barred' number memory. I use my bedside
handset as an alarm clock, and if the Intruder/Fire alarm goes off, I
have the 'phone right there with me.
Horses for courses.
