I have a fairly decent Xantech setup on my home theater because I had it installed before there was a T2 and because I play with a lot of remotes. It works very well for the most part, but I still have to aim the remote towards my equipment. This is fine but when you are executing a fairly elaborate macro you sometimes forget to keep the remote pointed. My point being, I wish I had the time to put in the IRF. There is something to be said about the push it at any angle or at any distance that is a nice feature, I think most people that opted for this upgrade would agree.
