I actually bought a Harmony 880 last week for ~$190 incl shipping (you can
find the site and 25% coupon code by browsing the remotecentral.com forums).
Should be getting it early next week. Only thing I'm really worried about
is
IR strength - it's gotta bounce off my projector screen and back to all the
components. And really, as far as remotes go, it's not _that_ expensive.
There's plenty that cost a lot more. =)

<font face="Arial">I wish this thing was RF! Why don't they make high
end remotes use high power RF? None of this wireless mouse strength
crap either. I want to be able to control my stereo from beside the
pool without a system of mirrors. The Dish Network PVR501 had a
FANTASTIC remote. RF & IR in one device. Great range, too good
actually. Me and a few neighbors had to gang together and assign each
other different remote IDs (remote offers 12) to keep from changing
channels of a unit 3 houses away. (But the remote is they only good
thing I have to say about Dish Network.)</font><br>
