I used to frequent these forums but I haven't been here in a while. Since I got my MX-500 tweaked in just right I haven't been paying much attention to the URC market.
My MX-500 still works but it's seen better days. It's gone through a spill or two and the backlight no longer works.
I was thinking about buying another one and thought why not upgrade to the MX-700 since the prices must have come down by now. I could definitely improve things with the better macro capabilities of the 700.
The MX-500 has come down to under $100 but the 700 seems to be out of production and unavailable anywhere. Looks like the MX-850 replaced it but the price on the 850 is still in the $400 range.
I have absolutely no need for RF capability. Anyone know if the 700 can still be found anywhere for a reasonable price? Sidekick included would be preferable. I'd like something my in-laws can use easily when they are over babysitting.
