My personal favorite is the 676. I just bought two on eBay (in the $50-$60 price range) to replace the older one I've used for a number of years. The layout of the buttons is the most ergonomic of all the Harmony models, IMHO.
This opinion was echoed by the Logitech service rep that I last spoke to, who said he was using one as well.

I find that I can use the 676 with just one hand, while the other models I've tried required using both hands, one to hold the remote and the other to hit the buttons or a lot of manipulating of the unit in my hand in order to reach the buttons..

You'll find a variety of prices on eBay and there have been several offers for refurbs on major web retailers lately, Because this model has been discontinued, almost every 676 that being offered is a refurb. Still, its design makes it worth going for a refurb. Logitech does stand behind the refurbs and will send you another if you have problems.

A while back, when my original 676 developed problems, Logitech, not having any 676's available at the time, sent me a brand new 670 (a newer current model, they said) to replace it. Personally, I did not like the button layout of the 670, so I put it back in its packaging and set it aside. Rain, if you might be interested in it, please send me a PM.

I saw a bunch of refurbs on sale at Surplus Computers; not sure how they rack up.
