I am currently using an MX-850 I have had for years and love it but the hardware is old as is the SW. It is only for my home theater. I am only IR, no RF. I have an MX-780 that I never warmed up to and eventually the OLED screen died. I just bought an MX-990 off ebay but it wouldn't communicate with the PC (my local dealer couldn't make it work either) so that went back today.

My local dealer is going to give me a great deal on an MX-990 but then he noticed there are some deals on the new MX-1400 and MX-4000. I don't think I am sold on the MX-1400 with no number pad as I do still watch some cable. The 990 felt good in my hand but I was intrigued by the old MX-3000 when they came out but have never seen one in person?

Any thoughts on these two remotes, or the wand vs. tabletop formats?

Thanks!
