If you want to spend (much) more money you can go to RS-232 control with an MSC-400 which will still operate from the RF on your MX-980. This will be faster and you can change the ramp speed of the serial commands.
Except the RS-232 volume out of a MSC-400 will give you fits. Every so often you will press volume up and it will ramp up to full volume without warning and it might take 30+ seconds before you can turn it back down. RS-232 and the 400 leave a LOT to be desired.
Have seen and heard of this happening on multiple different systems using different amplifiers and remotes.
