Well....got myself a Marantz RC2000mkII, just to make a final comparison between hardbutton only and the button-LCD combo of the T2.

I am sticking with the T2. It is SO much easier and more versatile in programming. And evenhough it is taller, the mII is pretty wide, and top-heavy. It is umcomfortable to hold, and the LDC display is hard to read. But it is certainly a powerful remote.
