I use the 950 remote to control all my other components. It replaced my Marantz RC2000 remote. While the Outlaw remote is more basic than the Marantz, it isn't terrible by any means. I wish it had a dedicated scroll buttons, for instance. As it is now, the 'Play", "Stop" "Pause" etc. are laid out like the "scroll" keys would be. Inconvenient. It is a "Learning" remote, and accepted all the commands I wanted. There are some weird UI issues, but none of them are a deal killer, in my opinion.
