I don't think most END USERS OR PROS would do their best
work on the FIRST ONE. In the end-user's case, the only

I agree 100%. I am always looking for ways to improve my previous GUI designs. I have never sold a design that I didn't feel was near my best at that moment, but that doesn't mean that everyone is using my best work. GUI design needs to evolve from experience. An advanced end-user would be able to program the remote after a day or two of training, but the design would suffer and other people may have problems following your brain path to operate the system. Custom installation professionals meet with numerous clients and have the advantage of being forced to make a remote that will work for anyone.
