The Remotes delay settings are set in the software

However, with the 600/650/700 the Power and Interdevice delays have been
moved to the remote itself

Yes that's Harmony's default, mine (Harmony One) has been changed to be
almost as fast as the original remotes. I'm sorry to say it was so long ago
I can't remember how I did it, something to do with intercode delays I think
but I can't remember where to find the setting.
Sometimes just knowing something can be done is enough to help find the
solution, hopefully this is the case for you.
