The only thing advanced about the One is that it's more recent - better imho.

I too prefer the One over the 885. My mate has the 895 and I don't like it but in the end, try them for yourself and see which one you prefer for features, ergonomics and general operation.

Do you use the coloured buttons?

Does who use the colour buttons?

They are initially on the One's LCD screen but can easily be copied to spare hard buttons where they are in a very convenient location.

Personally I would go for the 885, as I use the coloured red, green, blue, yellow buttons a lot on Sky. If you use Teletext then you will have the same use.
Now a friend at work was really annoyed with the One as a significant portion of the touch screen was taken over by displaying the coloured buttons (and you have to look to see when you press them). He says there are no free hardware buttons that you can assign them to if you are using Sky...

Of course neither one can control the Wii, as it uses bluetooth not IR.

I agree with the reasons for disliking the One's LCD colour buttons - that is why I immediately transferred them to hard buttons.
There is an unused additional up/down toggle that is ideal for green/yellow which are used most, there are adjacent buttons that can be converted to red/blue, and as they are all now close to the navigation controls the result is actually much better, more practical, than the original Sky remote!
