I'd like to buy a 520, because it design is much nicher than the other Harmonys' is. But i dont trust in its price, there must be something wrong with this remote... I havent found any great differences between the Harmony 520 and the "bigger" ones, can enyone tell me what makes the 520 so affordable?? I dont wanna buy it and find out that thers some important feauture missig... I wasnt able to compare feautures, because on the Logitech Homepage there are no technical specifications.. |

It has much less memory, so it can't support as many devices or activities. It only has 4 LCD buttons where the others have 6 or 8. I think those are the biggest differences.

The only real difference that I notice is that there is no color display. It shows only four activites. The auto-backlight isn't as full featured as the 880. No page up/down buttons. Other than that is seems to work as expected.

So you would conform the 520 would be "enough" ?

Yes, it should control all those components just fine.

Every Harmony has the same ability to control the same components. Your choices should be made based on button layout, price, and aesthetics. To say that the 520 can't handle as many devices means that it can't store the IR languages of as many devices as the older remotes because it has less memory. It still draws those IR languages from Harmony's online IR database which is shared amongst all of the remotes in the lineup, so it has access to all of the same device configurations as every other Harmony. |

Well, referring to layout, design and price, i'd say the 525 is the perfect remote for my room. And I belive the memory will be enough for these 4 tevices it would have to control. And, as I already wrote in my first post, I belive the 525 can't be beaten in price and design at the moment... |
