I just bought a Nevo SL (used) from a seller on Videogon. I think that it works great and is a lot of fun to build menus on. I however am thinking of going with the Harmony 890.

The Nevo is definately WAY more custom than the 890 in what you can do with it. I however like how the Harmony fits in my hand better than the Nevo. The Nevo is a lot better than my older Pronto TSU 2000 but it is still slightly bulky.

I have a Harmony 676 and I think it is a great remote. The only reason I bought the Nevo is because the buttons on my Harmony are starting to die and I need to replace it. I got the Nevo for $400 which is the same price as the 890.

I definately would not go with the 1000 for two reasons. The first is the size. If you have a coffee table or end table that it would sit on and you didn't want to pick it up often, I think it would be fine. But if you handle your remote a lot, it would be a pain. Second and probably more importantly, there aren't enough hard buttons on the face. The Nevo is great because you program the many hard buttons on the remote to take care of the more common commands (play, pause, volume, channel, guide, info, directional pad, and others). The old pronto I had only had a few hard buttons and it was a pain. I think I like hard buttons more than a touch screen and I might be willing to give up the customization of the Nevo for the feel of the Harmony.

I have more opinions on the subject if you want them. I might also have a Nevo for sale if you want that too. I just haven't decided yet.
