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!

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.

Does anyone know of a universal remote that will work with Oppo players. The stock one is lousy. I need one with nice large and illuminated buttons. I found several at WalMart for little more than ten bucks, but Oppo was not among the dozens of brands listed on the package.
