I have a lower end Harmony (680 I think) and I agree with some of BSW's complaints, but my experience is closer to Wun Chiou's in terms of programming ease and use of activities. Controlling multiple devices at the same time with minimal button presses is easy and works well, except that there are only 6 soft-buttons and sometimes I need more.
My Harmony runs a home theatre receiver, TV, TiVo, DVD player and CD player. The activities ("Watch TV" etc) work very well most of time time. Some times a command goes astray and I need to fix it manually.
I agree with BSW's issues with the web interface limitations. Not being able to order actions the way I want is really annoying.
All in all I'm not in love with my Harmony (2 years on). I would like to try an alternative, but this Denon is way overpriced.
