The addition of the Reon chip really does give the Onkyo an edge. Notice that the flagship Denon does not use the Faroujda, but a Silicon Optix chip.

Re the Silicon Optix Reon chip, I saw a very recent article comparing new projectors that said the Silicon Optix HQV chip was the best scaler of the group.
Mitsu That's pretty impressive. I give this review a bit more credit on this topic considering it is not the budget-AVR review guy, but the video review guy. I'm sure the AVR guy knows his stuff, but for the same chip in the sub-$1000 Onkyo to meet the critical demands of a videophile is a useful point opinion.
Hope this helps your selection process.
