The New model actualy has not much of additional FREE memory because it has a device IR database stored in the Pronto Ram, so it is not much of imporovement. I use the Euro Pronto for a while, replacing many remoted in my house, it's a great remote and I don't even use half ot it's 1MB memory. For the deal you mentioned above, I wouldn't think twice. I paid $330.00 for the Pronto only and I ordered the dock a month ago for $80.00.
That's a real bargain deal, I might take another one for upstairs...if my wife wouldn't kill me...AH, AH..

PS. The new Pronto with color screen will come out next year, but will cost about $800.00, too much for a remote though..
