Samsung (not so) smart remote

I'm looking for a replacement for my Samsung remote. It's the 01242 model and whilst it works with my TV and BT box, there's just not enough buttons available which means even trying to press the red button results in 2 or 3 clicks when 1 should be enough.

Is there a model of remote that I could use to control the TV and BT box?

Logitech harmony ultimate - second hand on eBay, this will control all your devices.

I'd rather buy new, but it seems to be obsolete. Would this model do the trick?

I own the Harmony 600 and One. The 600 gets the most use as the battery lasts forever. The one is rechargeable, does more etc but I find I prefer the 600.

Not sure what those models are like, however I was so impressed with the hub based ones that I got three, upstairs, downstairs and the boys room. 2 are second hand ultimates (also got a third for my old man) and an elite. Once they are set up and you get used to them they are great, I wouldn't go back to a supplied remote.
