what I've heard new C2 and C3 are IR/RF remotes will work with RF/IR blaster bases. Very good price points, will beat MX-880 value.
Your forgetting that there is more to a remote than the remote itself. The MX-880 you have to remember has the ability to communicate with a processor (capable of serial control and video/voltage sensing.). In addition it has the ability of variables which can really be useful for page flips and things like that.
What I am trying to say is that a remote is only as powerful as the a) the program b) the programmer. The design and cool factor get old very quick.
