Wow, all you Harmony fanboys just putting on the hater pants. These remotes are for the professionals kids... I don't need someone holding my hand to setup a remote.
I've tried Harmony remotes and can't understand the appeal. If you have any sort of complicated setup to perform, programming a Harmony is like pulling teeth. They also force you to view things in a particular way, even if what you want to do doesn't fall into that view. URs are by comparison much easier to do complicated programming on, are more adaptable (you can have the same equipment in different rooms and never have say, one Sony, respond to a command meant for an identical Sony in another room). The only thing I've found positive about Harmonys is that they seem to post updates a bit quicker.
“While it's not exactly punching it out with the heavyweights in multi-room audio, the Mint Studio does certainly hold its own with many similarly-priced iPod docks out there.”
