I have the 659 and absolutely love it. I use the PVR-250 (gray remote) profile when setting up the remote on logitech's site. I also use the PVR-250's IR receiver and the gray remote profile for LIRC. You can add extra soft buttons to the LCD on the remote but I think you are limited to the number of buttons defined for the pvr-250 remote in the LIRC profile. The really nice thing is all of the A/V switching for all of the components are handled automagically. Has a high WAF too.
