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!

I have had several brands and other Harmony's. Everything is right about this remote for me:

Easy, easy, easy to program online

Can't lose your set-up as it is stored online

My wife can run it and I can label buttons she understands

Tilt backlight is fantastic

Strong signal output

Only thing it does not have is RF, but I run the powermid RF x10 system throughout my house. Allows the use of any IF remote anywhere.
