I think the real question is how it compares to the MX-980? The URC models have some capabilies that Nevo software cannot do (such as variables, press and hold buttons, animated graphics, and some small others, while in my opinion the Nevo is easier to program, has a larger graphic library that is easier to access, and the device swap is excellent if you want to change or swap out components. I think both of these remotes are great; I may have to give the edge to Nevo because Z-wave is better than the RF URC uses, but this has not been proven with field tests, just conceptual information.
