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!

What ever you do DONT get the Harmony 1000, it was rushed to market very flawed, my dad paid $500 for it and he gave up on it after only a couple days....its terrible.
BTW I programmed it and I have alot of experience with remotes, it just doesnt work the way it should and its a shame as it looked very promising. When in NYC for T.H.E. show last year we ran into a Harmony rep and talked about our issue with the 1000, he shrugged his shoulders and said "get in line"....no kidding!
