Best Remote??

I would appreciate any suggestions as to which remote might work best in my system. I am a bit tired of using a different remote for each piece, and would like an all in one remote that can display and recreate all (or most) of the functions of each remote, and still not be too difficult to set up, if possible. It must have backlighting for the essential controls while watching DVD's. I use a Mac, if that matters. I would like to stay under $250, but will consider spending up to $500.
I am currently using:
* Musical Fidelity HT600 5 channel amp

* B&K AVP3090 pre-amp

* Sony DVP-9000ES SACD/DVD player

* B&W Nautilus 805 speakers w/ matching stands, * HTM-2 center, LM-1 surrounds

* Denon MD-1000 Minidisc recorder

*Musical Fidelity A3 Tuner

* Toshiba 40X81 Widescreen HDTV

* Monster HTS-3500 power center

Thanks to all for your help and advice.

Thanks everyone. I have been aware of Remote Central for years (thanks Swampwalker), but found the info on the Pronto/RC5000 quite daunting, and hope that Audiogon's members can help clear the air by sharing their hands on experience.

thanks 61, I have a Mac, am I correct in asuming that if I can download a WinPc program I can use the Pronto software? Also, how do the basic controls feel to use when it is dark? I like to be able to feel the fast forward, rewind, pause, etc. when the room is darkened, or at least see the controls easily.
