The 880 is great. It can be found very cheap online, and gives you features over the 550/659 that I think justifies it's price. The 880 adds the color screen, a rechargeable battery, a much better layout then the 550, and I find to be most useful, an automatic glow feature, which turns on the remote when you lift it up. It doesn't sound very important, but let me say, using the 550 without this feature in the dark is pretty annoyng.

I love my 880, I got it for $10 more than the 660(?). I thought it would be much more, but I absolutely love it and wouldn't trade it for another remote.

I bought the 688 off of ebay over a year ago for $73 shipped. It works great and does everything I need it to. It was the best bang for the buck at the time, but I haven't kept up with them since I haven't needed to.

If all you need is IR, the 880 is the way to go.

$125.88, maybe less if you look harder than I did.

Amazon has refurbished 880s for $100 shipped right now.

Although it's a long shot, check a few GameStop stores near you for the Xbox 360 edition Harmony remote. They won't have them new, but every once in a great while one will get traded in. I got mine, along with a USB cable for about $15. Best money I've ever spent.

I love the 676, not as fancy as an 8xx series, but I love it. Amazon had some amazing deals for almost all Logitech/Harmony remotes over the summer.

Thanks for the timely post! In for one 880 from Amazon @ $128.

I hadn't heard of that feature before. You might have convinced me to spring for the 880.

Hands down the 880. IR only might be a turn off but I think most can live with it.
