Just pulled the trigger on an Onkyo TX-SR876. It should be here Tuesday. I figure that the only want to make sure I get what I want is to try them both. I expect to keep this AVR for at least 5 or 6 years - hopefully longer. So I want to make sure I get the right one that meets my needs.

I'll let everyone know how the 876 stacks up against the SC-05.
