Visiting this thread from 2 years ago. I still find it unjustified to have cheap remotes on mega-dollar gear.
When you put your name on expensive audio, there should only be one quality standard across the board.
However well a cheap plastic remote can work, it is an extension of the product.
Ever seen a brand new Omega or Tag watch with a cheap $15 expendable wrist band on it instead of solid link stainless steel? Doesn't affect how the watch works of course, but still totally impossible.
