Which parts would you like programmable? Knowing this may make it easier to recommend the simplest one.

the Multi4 will not do 6s which is a requirement of the OP, the PowerLab 6 or 8 will and is a very easy to use programmable charger.

As far as easy to use goes i think the Accucel 6 is both easy to use, accurate and fairly inexpensive. I have had mine for 3 years and i'm still using it. I have upgraded to a higher amp icharger but i still use the accucel

If a "one button" charger is what you want, then you may be working against your own self interest.
Now that there are several different battery chemistries in common use, you have to accept that each of those chemistries require different methods of charging and maintenance to get the most out of them. The days are long gone when Nicads were the only game in town and there were plenty of one-button chargers.

You have an iCharger (which model doesn't matter) which is one of the very best out there. It does all chemistries and it does them all very well.
Your problem isn't likely how to actually use the charger, but how to set the various parameters for the various batteries you want to charge. But once you learn that, and do it the first time, it will come easy to you from then on.
So find a fellow club member who has an iCharger and let them walk you through it until you feel comfortable with it.

The iCharger sitting on your bench right now is one of the best, so I wouldn't be looking anywhere else for something that might be a simple to program "universal" charger that won't compare to your iCharger.
