I like my 850 slightly better than my 700 as well. However, one isn't going to find an 850 for $150. The 850 retails for $400. One might find an open box model somewhere for a little under $300, but I don't feel the 850 is TWICE as good as the 700.

Oh no!!! When did you get the 850?
I love my 700...and owe it to Ray and Ajax for the purchase.
I am tempted to try Logitech 880.

Ajax,
All I was saying is that I like my 850 better is all. The whole how much better is it, I could care less about. I just know I like it better. However, heck yes, if ones tight on funds, then it's kind of a no brainer. As you said, the 850 is a lot higher and defiantly isn't twice as better/good. To tell ya the truth, if the 700 came in black, I probably would have saved myself some money and got the 700. As is though, I can't stand the look of the 700, even though I know you do not buy a remote simply due to it's color.

I have Harmony 880 and I am very happy with it. I think you can buy for less than USD 200 online now. I bought mine when it just came out for full price of $250 at Best Buy, I could not wait.

Just to add to the confusion. You could also check out this . Don't know much about RCA remotes but the price sure is right. And its RF so you don't have to point it anywhere near your equipment.
