In the last several weeks I have purchased and programmed the MX-5000, MX-890, MX-1200 and the MX-990 for my Main HT. My favorite is by far the MX-990. It has all the right buttons and the remote feels and looks good. The MX-1200 is second, it is smaller than the 990 and the touch screen is cool at first but I do like the buttons better on the 990. The MX-5000 is awesome to hold but the battery life is a pain in the ass if you do not charge every couple of days. I use the 890 in my master bedroom. It is like the little brother to the 990. I use RF with all of them. IMHO look no further than the 990. It has it all.
