I've still got my original SB1 remote and it's neither damaged nor worn and has seen consistent use. It has survived a move too. I too was of the impression that the remote was flimsy and looked cheap, but at the end of the day, it gets the job done just fine. I'd rather SD keep the cost of the SB low by supplying a minimal remote and focusing efforts on the SB internals. Also, the SB can be easily controlled via a Universal remote. I now have a Harmony 880 that I use to control my SB and barely touch the original remote, unless it's closer to me than the Harmony. ;) Heh heh.
