Best All In One Learning Remote $500

My trusty Pioneer all-in-one learning remote bit the dust after more than 10 years of faithful service. We spent lots of quality time together at the movies, football, baseball, and games, watching Star Trek, etc. May she rest in peace.

I'm not quite ready to go the Creston, etc. route. I need something that can control up to a dozen components and that is as at home with Krell as it is with Pioneer, Tivo, Sony, and JVC. So, what, in your opinion is the best all in one learning remote for less than $500? And why?

Thanks for all your helpful advice. I ended up going with the Home Theater Master MX-500. It had the kind of clean uncluttered look I was going for. It looks to be relatively easy to operate ergonomically. I read all the rave reviews. And the price was right. I never would have thought of this one had I not posted the question, so a great big thank you to everyone!

Should be here Monday.

Now that I've had a week to play with it --

Very easy to set up. Very intuitive. Could actually understand the manual.

An unexpected bonus was the fact that the MX-500 actually works much better than the original remotes, including the ones for the Krell and Tivo. Couldn't be happier. Thanks again.
