Using Amazon for pricing the 525 is the most expensive of the three that you mention.....
Personally I dont use a third party learning remote as the one which came with my Denon AVR is able to control all of my components already with the exception that it cant turn off my CD player (can turn it on, stop a cd playing etc, just not off)
Mine isnt the nicest remote in the world and you can certainly get ones which look better but you get used to it quickly enough. I personally wouldnt consider paying £100 for a remote control but I guess that is just me (and the fact I have a "free" one which can do it anyway)
Astaroth, the Logitech Harmony 525 remote is ~£48 inc.VAT from cclOnline
...the Amazon price is clearly a misprint (or extreme profiteering!) Think its about £69 from Comet.
Yep, 688 is missing the coloured buttons, so that rules that out for me.

See CCL for good prices.

Anyone got a 525 ??
I have an 885 and a 655 both great IMO but not seen a 525 yet. Lots of people on AvForums swear by them; one or two just swear
