I don't really see a difference here with the pbxes solution.
USA DID connects to pbxes sever, pbxes calls the number and gets connected.

MAXroam
Call USA DID -> internet (from USA LEX to MAXroam-servers) -> SIM
PBXes
Call USA DID -> internet (from USA LEX to pbxes.org) -> use VSP (over internet) to forward to UK Cellphone number (eg UM+) = SIM
MAXroam's call travels over the internet once, the other example twice. Right? Correct me if I'm wrong.
PBXes has a different setup. It has a failover system, but then it becomes very slow. When something goes wrong with the uplink that MAXroam is using their ISP will automatically switch to another route, without changing anything in the configuration of the servers. That way the chance that a DID becomes unavailable is rather small, and the speed of the server is not affected (unlike what happens with PBXes because all users are transferred from one server to another).
Anyway. Every system has it's pro's and it's con's.
Professionally, I'll use MAXroam, for other things I might use PBXes (or it's equivalents).
I'm saying this without knowing MAXroams call quality, so actually I'm talking about the setup, not the specific service (MAXroam in this example).
