I recently grew my SB family in a big way from a single SB2 to:

1x SB2, 4x SBv3/classic & 1x SB Radio

For control, we use iPeng, the web UI and IR remotes.

For player sync/un-sync, iPeng is great.  The iPeng UI is intuitive and
well designed for multi-zone usage.  

Typically, we like to have 2 or 3 of these players synced.  While iPeng
works great, the Web UI is by comparison, nearly unusable, unless I'm
missing something.  I am able to sync & un-sync 2-players pretty easily
from the web UI, but to sync a 3rd player is a chore, requiring
launching the Settings screen and way too many steps to get 3-players
synced.  Is there an easier way?  

Also, I currently have no way to sync, un-sync, switch or control
volume of other players using the classic IR remote.  I've done some
browsing of the forums and have read about Other Players, SyncOptions &
Synchronizer; but haven't tried any of them yet. I think I'll start with
Other Players. 

Any recommendations from others that have been down this road ahead of
me?  I have to say, I'm disappointed that there is not a much more
elegant solution built into all the default UI's.  IMO, squeezebox is
superior to SONOS in so many ways, but I must admit that SONOS
currently has SB beat, hands-down, in the handling of multi-zone
applications, excepting iPeng, of course.
