A Nevo has occurred to me as a replacement to the Pronto.

I did own an SL briefly, but sold it and went back to the RU950 I was using at the time, due to several issues (that I would class as fundamental) in a universal touchscreen remote, mainly:

- The touchscreen could be quite inaccuarate (For example, you could press a button in the botton left-hand quadrant of the screen and a button in the top right-hand quadrant would show as "pressed". This occured on more than one unit, so I guess it wasn't a one-off manufacturing defect).

- Pressing the transparent part of a button image would select the button.

- The IR "runwaway" issue (I know the symptoms caused by this problem could be controlled by limiting the duration that an IR code was transmitted for, but that didn't resolve the underlying issue).

- I found macros to be quite slow compared the Pronto (I guess due to the inter-IR command delay being greater?)

Are these issues still apparent with the latest Nevo models? I really did like the ergonomics and editing software of the Nevo, so I would consider one as a replacement if the above issues have been addressed.
