Damn, that's f'in sweet. I almost switched to the ProntoNeo for more hard buttons until I realized it was a piece of crap. I'm not sure how they can charge almost the same for that as they do the regular Pronto, but anyway.
That definitely is one thing that I wished my Pronto had. I mean, the LCD is great, but I want to be able to fast forward, rewind, play, stop, etc. without looking at the screen of my remote. It's really handy to be able to control everything in your system, but for the most common controls, hard buttons are just the way to go. The current Pronto also isn't very handy when using Tivo. I've switched back to using the Tivo remote because it's so much better.
