This is not directed at anyone in particular, but I have always found it hard to believe that people are willing to spend $1000 dollars on a processor and probably thousands more on a tv, speakers, dvd player, etc. but won't spend $150-$250 on a really nice remote control. Its one of the few things that everybody, whether a tech junkie or not, notices an improvement with and its very possible it will never need to be upgraded. I guess different strokes for different folks but I find it sad when somebody prefers one piece over another but chooses the lesser because it has a better remote.
