Which Universal Remote to Use?

Hey everyone,

Looking for thoughts/opinions on trying to unite all my remote controls (currently 7) into one universal command remote.

Any one that folks recommend in particular for a combination home theater/listening room setup? I'm looking for ease of setup, future expandability, and ease of use without busting the bank.

I'm comparing the following:
- MX-3000 from Best Buy/Magnolia
- AMX
- iControl
- Phillips
- Logitech Harmony 550, 670, 890, 1000,

Also, any tips on which ones to avoid would be helpful. Many thanks!

URC 900 is much better than any Harmony piece..Add the Mrf260 radio frequency extender for control up to 100 feet.Tom

Outstanding response from Oppo. I sent them an E-Mail.

You download new software, and write it to a CD. Then you use the CD in the player. Instructions must be followed exactly, or you may mess up the player. I have not done it yet, but I did do something similar for a Rotel prepro.

I bought a very nice universal remote at Radio Shack for $14.99. Illuminated buttons and all.
