Help choosing the right remote - Blu-ray Forum

I know this has been asked before but I have very specific questions about it.

Here's my set up:

TV: 46" Samsung LCD 650 ToC series
Receiver: Denon 391 ( I haven't bought it yet but plan on doing so this week)
Speakers: Polk RM8
Blu-Ray: PS3
Future blu-ray player: Possibly an Oppo 93

Basically I'm concerned with macros/activities/sequences. I don't know whether any of these devices have a discrete power. If not then I'd like a remote that has state tracking (remember whether the device is already on.)

Another thing that I'd like to do since I'm planning on buying a region free player is to program the region code changes with macros.

So for example I press a button to watch a region A movie. Then I change my mind and press another one to watch a region B movie. The control should know that the player is already on therefore skip those steps and just input the region code change.

Another plus would be a Lithium battery but it's not required. I just keep reading about Harmony remotes that have battery problems. I don't want to have to change them constantly.

Does this make sense? Thanks for any input, guys.
