I just purchased a HL-P5063W and am hoping to purchase my first universal remote--either the HMT MX-700 or the Harmony 680. I'm leaning towards the MX-700. I'm a complete rookie when it comes to universal remotes, but I think I have the patience to make a go of it. ;^)

I completed reviewing the postings in this thread and am wondering what kind of issues I will run into. Will I be able to come up with a solution that makes things easier for family members to use our simple home theater? Or will I simply be exchanging one problem (too many remotes) for another (incomplete functionality, unexplainable results)?

I appreciate your candid comments. Thanks for sharing your experiences!
