Arjen:

I don't think you're going to be saving any money going to the Niles IntelliControl. In fact, it will cost you more than the T2. However, it has all the hard buttons that you want without an LCD screen. You can check it out at the Niles webpage. Use Yahoo to find it, in case it's not as straight forward as Nile.com. Good luck in your search for the Holy Grail, uh I mean Remote :)
