The 700 and it's replacement, the 850, are essentially the same. The 850 has a different center button set and is a different color as well as being RF capable. If you can find the 700, as Jack suggests, it's a no-brainer. An 850 open box can be had at SurfRemoteControl for a substantial savings (call & talk to Mike). Getting under $300 won't be a problem.

Drop into Remote Central, the remote authority on the web. Info on the MX models and the Harmony models abounds.

Whatever you do, DON'T tell Curtis what you bought. He'll buy one too!!! He just can't help himself.
