I think I'd rather have the 7000 over the 9500.
I couldn't imagine losing 2 of my "below the
screen" hard buttons. I love having the 4 on
the 7000. The only thing I wish the 7000 had
would be a "select" button in the center of the
directional hard buttons. So many OEM remotes
have an "enter" or "select" button in the center
of their navigation buttons. I had to use the
lower left button surrounding my nav buttons for
the "select". Oh well. Nothing's perfect.
