I'm not familiar with that model, but I have the 890 and it's GREAT. I got it on Amazon for less than $100. If you keep your eyes on the website Ben's Bargains they usually pop up on there every once in a while at a good price. They're SUPER easy to program and very easy to use. I had a touch screen remote that came with my Marantz receiver that was much more complicated to use. When I moved in with my wife I decided I needed something simpler and so I got the 890. She has no problems using it.
