Universal Remote: classy cheapy available?

Am getting really sick of the cheap plastic one provided by EC with the EMC-1, especially as my left hand uses the lovely Pass Labs brick for my Aleph P. I had noticed that an NAD remote worked on the EMC also. Anybody know of a good-looking and handling remote that might operate the EMC?
I really need only the simple PLAY/PAUSE/STOP etc functions.
Something like the slick Audio Refinement Complete's would be cute....Thanks. Ern
