My dealer said he would not be getting any Prontos until after the first of the year. So he said if you can get one, go for it. So I got one from Jack.

If they allowed templates on the "Macro Groups" or Macros on the device templates you'd hardly even need the PC software. IMHO you can't quite set it up completely for "Activities" with out one or the other. You can get reasonable close.

Some of these Pros and Cons are with respect to comparing it with IRIQ.

Pros:

Works on all my devices (Pioneer DVL-700, Sony TV, Meridian 561, Rotel Tuner, Yamaha VCR).
Great range on all my devices.
The software is very well done.
Nice screen size to unit size ratio.
Screen is easier to read.
Screen has better touch sensitivity (this may of been aggravated by the range problem on the IRIQ).
Larger array of "Icons".
Larger Icons.
The two buttons are equally as good as the wheel (maybe even better)
I think it has a slightly larger screen.
Independent lights and timers for screen and buttons.
You can label the 2 general buttons.
Large range of button shapes for easier ID.

Cons:

Little hard to read in well lit room.
Buzzes when light is on.
Lacks a true "activity" mode (software will fix).
