Another vote for the 885 here.  We are getting on very well with it.
Controls all the AV / TV etc.  No X10 or anything like that though sorry.

The Harmony remotes are excellent, much better than my old Pronto
RC890.

They are easy to set up, all common devices are in the Harmony
database already and if you have something really outlandish it will
learn from your old remote.

If you want to do something out of the ordinary it can usually be
achieved but it might get a bit frustrating.

The only problem is that you have to be online to the Harmony website
when programming the remote and it has been known to be a bit slow.
