I have done a lot of residential projects with CNRFHT-30A's and ML-600's. We
usually do one for every TV in addition to any touch panels in the house.
People seem to really like having a hard button remote like this.
I agree the colored buttons should be separate, but just looking at the
picture of the MLX-2 it seems to have a much better button layout than the
ML-600. At least it has colored buttons, plus page up/down, separate track
and scan fwd/reverse buttons, replay and advance. Those are all buttons I
was putting on the screen of the ML-600's. CNRFHT30s are actually really
good products in their own way. Very dependable and the 9V battery lasts a
long time in them. The range is very good as well. They just don't have
enough buttons, especially for Tivo or Lighting.
Anyway that's my 2 cents,
Jon

I never liked the MT-1000 but love the ML-600. It would have been
great to see the MLX-2 be a 2-way version of the ML-600. Update the
button feel, change the pink champagne to gloss black, change the LCD
to color and update the font, hell maybe add a button or two. I like
the interchangeable AAA batteries.
I think touchpanels are great, but you can't beat the tactile feel of
hard buttons. A lot of our clients want simplicity (ML-600) and some
want the cool factor or integrate more complicated equipment (TPS-
6X)....they are sooooo close with these remotes but sometimes I just
don't know what they are thinking <ahem 4X battery> <ahem 6X dock>.
I just got an MLX-2 and see that this color/function thing is going
to suck. But I will wait until I program one and get it working to
see if it is worth it and if I'm proud of it.
I haven't done this RTI integration yet - but will be starting down
that road. They look cool enough (Crestron why are you behind on
this?) but it sucks they are one way. What are RTI's share of issues?
I remember reading here about double button presses - is that all? It
will be nice to offer options to clients (Pronto, Crestron, RTI) and
in RTI's case can kill two birds.

A 2-way MT-1000C would be perfect. Small, light, good battery life.
Actually the one-way would be really close to perfect if the
feedback worked
like the st-1700.

Well, RTI has it's share of issues too :-)
Actually, I don't think I know of a remote I'd consider "ideal"
(I'm
kinda picky), but I wish Crestron's were at least a little closer
to
the top...
