Well, let me clarify that entering numbers is actually enough that I'd actually USE the remote from time to time (I've never used my remote on my empeg ever actually)... so if I'm going to learn and get accustomed to a remote on 1.03 to make tuning easier, I'd rather learn "once" on a Rio remote, than get accustomed to the old remote and then end up doing the whole "glance down at the remote learning curve" thing again later on. :)

But again, I have no idea what the Rio remote costs are, or if there is sufficient availability for them to be made available.
