This review assumes you already know that Harmony Remotes are "activity based" and programmed via your PC. So, if you are trying to decide *which* Harmony to get, I can recommend the 550. I also own the Harmony 670 and I like the 550 better because you can program activities (e.g., Watch TV or Play DVD) into the buttons adjacent to the LCD. On the 679, there are hard pre-printed activity buttons along the top edge. The range and power is good. The remote uses regular batteries so there is no cradle to plug in. And it's less than $100. In this price ranage it's a great remote. One gripe: the Channel +/- and Volume +/- are curved switches around the cursor circle. It's just a pain that the buttons you use the most don't feel like any button on any remote you ever used before. It might make your thumb crazy.
