I have the system. The fact that you can take it anywhere, control anything, drop it in the pool, take it inside, etc far outweighs the fact that the response when you press a key is slightly delayed. Yeah, it's a little annoying that there is a 1/2 second response time per keypress. Still, the wireless aspect far outweighs this drawback.

Just make sure you don't *lose* the remote, and/or break it. The rep said they run in the neighborhood of $400 to replace the handheld remote. Seems extremely excessive to me, but they have you by the "short & curlies" once you buy it so what are you gonna do... so much for industry cooperation and standards!
