Hi Tim,
Thanks for the response. I think you hit the nail on the head. If the software functions as you outlined, the Lexicon 700t would become almost obsolete.

By the way, does anyone have experience with the Niles IntelliControl (typically advertized in Home Theater magazine)? From limited discussions with a local A/V dealer, it seems to be a cross between the Marantz RC2000 and the Lexicon 700t. All hard buttons and no display panel, but it can be programmed (by the dealer only) for complicated macros. It also has the ability to know which components are turned on or off. This was THE big selling point pushed by the A/V dealer. At about $1700 with programming, the Pronto just seemed to blow it away (having already purchased a Pronto, my choice between the two is clear). Any comments?
