I went for a Pronto 9600 and the serial+IR base station to connect
everything at node zero. Works a treat. It has a simple database
system for adding components and lots of pretty buttons via the
gallery and online.

Another plus for me was the Javascript (sorry ProntoScript) support -
makes it a very powerfull system if you can code.

You also have the 9400 which is smaller like the old pronto and the
9800 which is a big screen version. There is lots of stuff on
RemoteCentral about all the latest remotes.
