Dish 60.0 Remote

I see Dish has a newer remote. It is version 60.0. They want $20.00 online ($27.60 with tax and shipping). Amazon is showing it for $29.00 with free shipping but I can get it free with my Amazon reward points. It also says it maximum range is 30 feet, but on the Dish site it says it has a 150 foot range. Also on the Amazon site it says it is a generic brand not Dish. Does anyone know if this is a knock from the one available directly from Dish? They both show the same SKU of DN018897. Dish shows a one year warranty where as Amazon is showing 3 month warranty.
I kind of like the new layout of the buttons. Has anyone used this new remote and how does it compare to the 54.0 remote?

Thats probably some retailer selling it through amazon and the retailer does not want to be on the hook for a year for a remote, thus the 3 months through Amazon. But I am sure if you had an issue you could call DISH to get it replaced.

My wife loves the remote it has become the only remote she uses. And with the big size of the remote she never loses it in bed anymore.
