Is the remote controller a boon?

I came across www.balanced.com/resources/whitepapers/i-white.pdf
It made me think differently of pre/int amp that comes with a remote. Have manufactureres spent enough time/money/effort to make theire remote contollers right?
BAT sells remote contols at extra $500, and some would ask why so expensive when there are many recievers at under $200 with remotes?

Would you rather have a remote on your over $1000 pre/int amp at the cost of sonic degradation for conveniebce or not?
Or would you be willing to pay extra $500 for a remote that is made right and has zero interference with the sound?
Or, would you be rather without a remote than paying $500?

Larryi, many thanks for your indepth post. Now I change my thought on my Rogue Magnum 99 remote -- one big heavy aluminum case with just volume contol. No mute or souce control. Now I think the Rogue remote is pretty cool!
When a small compay like Rogue and BAT spends much effort on their remote, some big shots out source their remotes?
