slacker,
Wouldn't doubt it. The NEO's aren't exactly the best. But they are priced right though. They just aren't as flexible as the regular Pronto or the Pronto Pro (if you need colors.. mm.. colors..) The Harmony is nice as well because of that whole automatic programming thing. I had a hard time deciding between my Pronto and the Harmony in fact. It's wife friendly, and of course the available hard buttons, but for ultimate flexibility, a Pronto is pretty hard to beat.
It does take some time to program, but you can also customize it to however you want it to look which is cool. Mine is setup so that both my wife and my 7 year old can use it easily.
