Need quick advice on the Logitech Harmony 550 universal remote

Harmony 550


The Xbox version

My main quetion is I like the Xbox control features on the second one but could you not program the same stuff in the 550? For example the "Play Xbox" button sets up everything to do that, but could you not program a macro to do the same on the regular 550?

What are the other differences? I've heard that the buttons are different, and somewhat less as nice on the Xbox version.

What advantages/disadvantages do the 2 remoted have on each other?

"Harmony XBOX 360: Similar to the 550, but in XBOX 360 white casing and green lcd-color. Colored A, B, X, Y keys like a XBOX controller instead of the Page Up/Down keys."

Does similar mean it lacks features the 550 has though? It doesn't appear that way, but I was hoping someone here knew for sure.
