Expensive but worth it
my TV is far away from my Audio equipment, so I had to point the remote at the TV when using IR. I have a 10 second delay programmed for the TV to tune to the correct input, so I had to keep the remote pointed at the TV the whole time, or it wouldn't work properly. Using a second blaster solved that problem.

Needs hardware change
Works well with both the Harmony 890 and 1000. Fairly easy to set up, though there are two HUGE drawbacks which Logitech should fix.
1. They have hard-wired the cable to the Extender so that you have to unplug the unit whenever you want to upgrade the settings - a royal pain when it's plugged in behind your components.
2. Even if you want to make a tiny change to the Harmony settings (e.g. changing a couple of icons) you have to update BOTH the Harmony and the Extender. This takes much longer and, because it's hard-wired, is very annoying.

Does Not Suck
Pros:
1. All controls are in one place and the screens are relative easy to navigate.

2. Help system (Remote Assistant) is extremely... helpful.

3. Fairly easy to set up and program, particularly if your device is in Logitech's device database.

4. Looks and feels sexy.

Cons:
1. Touchscreen buttons take some getting used to as does the delay when sending an RF signal.

2. Your computer and internet connection must be within reach to program and troubleshoot devices. My computer is on the second floor of my house, so I get a lot of cardio everytime I change the setting or add a new device.

3. Coming to the realization that you've just spent $500 on a remote control.
