I have a Pronto 2000 and MX-500. My wife likes the Pronto because it has just the buttons that she needs for whatever viewing she is doing. The MX-500 was fairly easy to set up. To set a Pronto up takes a lot of time and effort (to do properly) but is well worth it. I like the buttons on the MX and the one hand useage but the Pronto is the one that gets used everyday.

I am looking forward to the 3000 with its new cursor buttons. For our TV viewing (Dish Network) the cursor gets the most use and the hard buttons will be a welcome addition. If you would like to see a PCF file for the Pronto 3000 that controls two dish network receivers, a Sony DVD, a Sony 57' HDTV, VCR, Sony Receiver, Lights, and a Audio swither for my headphones, just send me and email.
