Physically, the 990 is a much better design. it is much lighter and thinner and the contours on the back allow the remote to sit much better in the hand.. It is more modern looking in all black instead of the grey/black from the 980. The LCD screen has been noticeably improved.
Its button layout is slightly different with the shuttle controls (play/pause, FF, REW, etc.). There are also some new ones including the 4 color buttons AND a record button. All of these are well welcomed. The only loss for buttons is a single "Main" instead of the "Listen"/"Watch" pair. This I actually liked! I always hated having to explain to other the difference and I always put the icons under the watch button to avoid confusion.
Programming this was mostly the same. You can even import an existing 980 profile but I actually started from scratch as an opportunity to clean things up. The 990 comes with a new set of Icons which are nicer and up-to-date.
If you have never programmed urc, there is a bit of a learning curve. Its not like you are writing raw code but you are given a blank slate that you have to fill-in using the GUI. URC has provided some wizards to speed things up but there is still a significant time investment needed even to do a basic setup. You have a very complete IR database if that is all you need. There is also an RF and Serial database if you are using their companion base stations for more advanced setups. Note that "RF" does not mean you can control non-URC devices like Fire Sticks and Roku directly that do not have IR.
Turns out you can use the charging cradle from the 980 with the 990. Looks like URC made the back contour of the 990 compatible so it drops right in. Voltage and amperage are the same along with the contacts. Nice touch. Note that the dock from the 990 is actually narrower so the 980 remote will not fit it.
Battery (NP-60) is the same which is great since I already have extra. I strongly recommend ordering replacements directly from URC rather then buying aftermarket on amazon or ebay. I have tried many different ones both cheap and pricey and they all fail within a year depending on usage. Now I just call URC directly and pay the $40 each. Expense but they last for years and I dont have to worry about unstable voltage locking/crashing the remote.
So, overall, its a great upgrade. If you looking at this as your first URC make sure you understand what it is your are getting into. But, assuming you do, there isnt much this thing cannot do.

The 3rd parties can charge up to $1,300 to purchase and program the remote. So beware!
I returned this product for a refund and got lucky in finding someone who did the programing for much less money. The remote? It is fantastic. It controls a 65" TV, SONOS system and a DVD player. Highly recommend the product. Just be aware of the need for programing.
