I've ordered from Worthington before as have several friends and all previous experiences have been excellent. This latest purchase, the MX-700 is just another example of a great price from them.
That much being said - I am POSITIVE that other companies are losing sales due to the pricing of the MX-700 remotes. I know that I would never buy at $499 - even with 30% off it would have been a tough decision to make. At $231 + $6 for the programming cable it's almost a no-brainer.
Bluedo, AVSMart and others have got to stand up to these manufacturers and offer the consumer better pricing. I know if I had purchased from Bluedo at $499 and then found out about the Worthington price it would have been my last Bluedo purchase (and I would have told 10 of my friends to stay away from them too).
And for the record - I really don't care about the MX-200 - I have zero use for it.
