We really don't have a remote right at that price point but we do a good bit of work with the marantz RC3200 if the RC5200 is just more than they want. Below that we can do the marantz RC1200 and 2000 remotes, but of course they're not pc programmable and not quite as user friendly, though I can usually get 'em down to "one-button" macros.

They're really paying for the convenience, and if they are put off by the price, well then, how much do they want it?
