1 - Try other amp codes from the same manufacturer 2 - Learn the codes
I'm assuming the $189 is for an open box MX700. That's want I have. It was just like brand new.
Honesty, I looked at jp1 remotes and MX700. I actually have a Radio Shack RS15-2116 sitting on my desk to return. After doing more reading here and playing with them, I realized I could program the MX700 to be way more wife and kid friendly. The key is the customizable LCD labels and macros on any key.
This is not to say jp1 remotes are not powerful. They are! I personally feel they less customizable and user friendly than the MX700. The kicker with the jp1 remotes is cost. They are the least expensive solution. I can't speak to the ease of jp1 programming. However, with the little poking around I did it looked less intuitive than the MX700.
Like Pilgram said you can never have enough power.
