Though I'm stuck with epilating the chest as it is grey... 
I don't know anything about that one, but the 'best' one for home use appears to be the Tria. That is I believe the only model that has a US FDA approval.
As it happens I bought one off e-bay literally yesterday lunchtime, so I'll let you know how it goes in a few months! It's more expensive than the Remington one you've got your eye on, though.
FWIW, I had almost 12 months of professional laser treatment on face, neck, abdomen, lower arms and hands, starting in Oct 2010. Cost a small fortune but worked fairly well. Although I really could have done with a few more sessions, I decided the additional cost would give smaller and smaller returns to get the last few dark ones. That's why I'm getting the Tria, to hopefully pick them off as they appear and I'm also planning to attack my legs with it!
My big problem, which you've also alluded to is the grey/white ones. I obviously knew that I had those in my beard, and on my chest but I didn't realise just how big a proportion there was until the black ones were gone!
However without the black ones its easier to keep the white ones under control and obviously they dont notice so much anyway.
