2117 is reduced now for same price as 2116. If you need/want the RF capability, it's a good choice. If not, the 19.63 walmart 8810W is probably the best current bargain.

the rs 15-2117 is $30 and has an LCD screen as well as a command center that lets you use the remote from any room in your house (apparently a fair number of people are having problems with getting this to work)
the wal-mart OFA 8810w is $20 and has more buttons than the 15-2117 but no LCD screen. most JP1ers say LCD screen isn't needed, so this is actually the best value (most features for the cost).
I have all of the above remotes and more but the one that I use is the OFA 8910. It has all the buttons on the 8810w as well as an LCD screen (I am in the minority, I like the screen). I really like having all these buttons to put functions on without having to use shifted keys that can use up keymove memory. The only thing I would change is that I would rather have a green or blue backlight. The red backlight is hard on my eyes.
All of the above remotes are JP1 compatible out of the box (they have 6 pin JP1 and they have eeprom) _________________ -Steve
