I'm in search of a nice remote under $150 to control everything I have. Maybe something with a touchscreen and/or customizeable text so I can label functions. I've done some research and I still don't know what I want. This is what I would be controlling:

Philips 32PFL5332D/37
Motorola DVR HD DCT6412 (Comcast Box)
Toshiba A3 HD DVD Player (Just ordered)
and considering a home theater system

I like the harmony 550, is there anything else comparable or better in my price range?

The Harmony 720 will give you some improvement over the 550:
- Rechargeable lithium ion battery,
- Six custom label buttons per screen (instead of four),
- Color LCD,
- Tilt sensor for backlighting.

Costco sometimes carry it for $120, otherwise amazon.com sell it for about $150 (prices fluctuate a lot) and Target have it for $180. It isn't shown on the U.S. website (very limited distribution) but here is a link to the European model, which has four extra colored buttons for operating teletext services available there. There is also a thread here with a picture in the first post.
