OK, I'm also looking for a remote and am trying to decide between the MX-700 and the Harmony 880.
The Harmony won't be hitting the shelves until early may so that's a point in favor of the MX. The Harmony will be about $20 cheaper and will be rechargeable, both points in it's favor. Both are software programmable, so that's a push. Anybody have any experience with both brands (I know no one will have specific experience with the 880 but controls should be similar to ther models) who can share any insight?
