Mine arrived today, and unfortunately (for now), must go under the Christmas tree as a gift from my girlfriend. However, she does not know that I opened it and at least got to look at and compare it to my old Harmony.

When placed side by side with the original Harmony it is only one inch longer but appears even sleeker. In fact, it makes the original model look outdated and even cumbersome in design. The design of the buttons are much more sophisticated and stylish. The buttons themselves are slightly smaller and rounded, and have a good feel -almost like the gemstone buttons on some HTM products, very rich and elegant. The remote fits in the hand even more comfortably than the original.

Now, I can't wait 'til Christmas, and may have to sneak this baby out of the box to do some midnight programming! I think everyone will be very pleased with this model.
