I would think as a Primary remote, the TSU2000 is the way to go. If one were considering additional remotes, the TS1000 refurb route may be the way... certainly not with a new TS1000 because I am not aware of any price advantage.
Though I don't have much faith in Philips re-mfg process the people who have gotten one of what appears to be a much higher %-age of failed units from J&R seem to be pleased with the way the they are handling the replacements.
