Hmm. The price of the MX-650 and 450, used on Ebay, are similar. The 450s seem to be in better shape overall. Do you think the feel of the 650 is noticeably better than the 450 in terms of finding buttons without looking?

Any concerns about the screen turning on and off and being able to send commands from the soft keys on the 450? I thought I read something weird about one of the URC remotes not sending soft key commands when the screen was off.

BTW, you name seems really familiar; I think I've read a bunch of your posts way back when I originally shopped for the MX-500. Were you affiliated with BlueDo? After I bought my MX500, something like 4 or 5 of my friends and coworkers bought the same remote from there.

Thanks for your help. :)

Brian.
