Reason for the Harmony is wife-friendliness. It controls everything else in the Entertainment Unit so logically XBMC too. The XBOX360 controller is definitely just for me when I want to geek out on some old school gaming!

Entirely understandable. With that said, the two are not mutually exclusive. At my girlfriend's place, we use the two interchangeably to control XBMC. No setting changes are required to switch back and forth and you could use them at the same time if you wanted.

The only gotcha is that having the xbox 360 controller keymap means that when in an emulator the controller is controlling XBMC *and* the game at the same time. Since so many people were running into this, the 'workaround' is to have a kill script that kills XBMC when you launch the game, then returns to XBMC when you end the game. The added benefit is that your CPU and RAM are not being eaten up by XBMC. I believe some Launcher plugins (Advanced Launcher, ROM Collection Browser, etc) have a mode like this already built in.
