Depending on what is wrong with your two fobs -- they might be repairable.  Drop a PM to Martin Imber on the forum -- he's a whizz with these, and it costs a lot less than a new fob

the fobs have seen better days the buton part has worn away and is just showing the little red button on the circuit board
and the battery is flat on the other

Well -- that battery should be no problem -- Martin might be able to put the innards of the other into another case ( can be had off eBay) still a lot cheaper than getting new from vx and re-programming

if its just the case thats knackered then you can simply swap the innards of one into the other. i did it the other week on my elite and its quite straightforward...
