I am using my T2 without the RF add-on's and I still love the remote. It is comforting to know that I can upgrade at some point in the future, but the RF was not the feature that made the T2 appeal to me.

I wanted control over the remote's layout, the ability to program many macro's, and clear accurate labeling of what my buttons actually do. I like touch screen for the labeling features, but I really need hard buttons for navigation and a few other common tasks.

The T2 is the remote that had the combonation of hard and LCD buttons that works best for me. This makes the remote near perfect for me even though I did not choose to go with RF. I like the ability to expand to that later and I appreciate not having to fork out the cash for a feature that does not help me much. My equipment is all easily hitable with IR at this time. :)
