These remotes, (the three in the series) all seem to be very good at
what they do if its what you are looking for!!
A lot of people these days prefer the customisable touch screen
remotes, personally i don't like them and for a general remote I want
hard buttons!!

im going to be getting the logitech 688 mainly cos its developed for
tivo and PVR use  with decent controls.
I have demoed the software on their website and its very very smart,
has  everything i could throw at it in their and has smart state
knowledge in it so it knows what state your equipment is in.  All in
all they look pretty sweet, wont control X10 tho, not on their own,
maybe would work with the X10 infra red converter but the only one of
those I have seen is ugly as sin so not sure how that would look on
the wall of your nice pad!!

unless you go into IR extender kits like the xantech.....another topic!!!

Will try and answer any more questions you have, have been researching
these and reading up for a while!!
