As much as I'd love to own one of these things for the "wow" factor, my Harmony 550 does absolutely everything I want, I'm familiar with the keys, and it works so incredibly well. I have 8 devices and it handles everything perfectly. I'm completely happy with it.

That being said, this is a great deal on an awesome remote. I'm gonna rep it even though I'm not getting one for myself.

Interkey and interdevice delay... worked on my Harmony remote which was very sluggish.

Strange, folks at AVS strongly disagree

I have both 880 and One. I definitely love the One. The channel up/down and vol up/down keys of 880 will drive you crazy if you watch TVs in the dark or, in my case, in bed. The DVR function keys are all the way down and harder to use because of the weight balance issue.

I've got both a 628 and a 676, which have among the best button arrangements (shape, size and placement) of any of the Harmony remotes (particularly for use with a DVR) and even so, I'm not in love with their ergonomics. I've played with a One at a local BB and it is the only Harmony that seems to have been designed by someone who actually watches TV in a dimly lit room - its keys are a decent size and are placed where they are easy to use by touch.

I have the 880 and am pretty happy I've considered the one, but can't quite justify it yet. Once the one drops to $100 maybe.

I cannot find a clean comparison of various harmony remotes anywhere. Any suggestions as to why this costs 100+ bucks more than 620 being sold in costco. Aesthetics and rechargeable battery look two differences, but functionality looks the same.

Maybe I am weird but with the state of the economy the way it is, I can't understand anyone spending $150 for a remote control.

What? "The economy is fundamentally sound"!

Moving from Logitech Harmony 659 to 880 was totally disaster. Flat buttons on 880 is the stupidest layout ever (impossible to remote w/o looking first) I was very happy to return 880 after 30 days of suffering.
Harmony One is not perfect, but at least I can do most common functions w/o looking. AVS guys recommending 880 have no clue what's the remote for...

Agree. Jut tried today. Way better than the Harmony 620 which died two weeks ago. Well worth paying $60 than the 880 Amazon deal. Especially for something you plan to use for years! -
