URC KP900 is less expensive, and computer programmable. No numeric keypad however, but you can always build favorites or just use the GUIDE and SELECT buttons.
Eh, I wouldn't recommend a KP900 for TV viewing. Great for a zone 2 or audio zone remote, but not so much for channel surfing.

The MX850 is a little pricy for just wanting to turn on and set the channel on the RNG110.
Well if that's "just" what you want to do, then use the Comcast remote. If you need a capable universal remote that can be programmed to control your whole system, then an MX850 is suitable. But if you need a remote to "just turn on and set the channel" then I don't see a problem in using the Comcast remote.
That's like saying a 5000 square foot home is a little pricey for just wanting to store a couple things in the attic. Rent a storage unit then.
You buy what you need to fit your system and your needs.
