I had the Marantz RC9500 for not much more than that, with an RF extender, dock etc, boxed almost as new.

I paid "quite a bit more" for the RU990 when I had it (2nd hand, but boxed as new) a few years ago :\

I did see two RU990s going on eBay, but given the comments from some other users who have had the white screen, I thought about sods law, and tried the Marantz....

It seems "quicker" in terms of screen change, but I'm not as much of a fan of the button layout. 6 buttons around the cursor, instead of four, and two less hard buttons overall (RU990 has 4 at the bottom of the screen, Marantz has 2, forming the 6 overall).

But, the CCF transferred over (with a minor bit of modding required due to said lack of additional hard buttons confusing it a bit). All my lights (HomeEasy, RF controlled) are happy assuming it's the RU990 :)

Still, someone may want a screen etc for theirs, so I'd rather it went somewhere where someone could fix/use it :)
