Instead of settling on the MX-450 I may want something more challanging. If I was to purchase the MX-880 at an authorized dealer will it come with the required software to program the unit? I see Amazon sells a few of URC's remotes and I'm trying to find out now if that is a retail distributor place. One of my old friends who I haven't spoke with in years is an A/V guy, but would feel a little weird calling him for a wholesale price if the prices are that much different.

I'm looking for a good review on the 880. More interested in what kind of keys/buttons feel like. Are they soft, gem, rubber, stuff like that. I feel like poking my hands through my screen to feel the textures.
