johng,
I have the 1602, M3's and a EP125. Soon I will have M22's and either vp100 or vp150. It works excellent with the M3's, so the M22's shouldn't be a problem at all. I don't own a TV yet so I don't know about the video switching.
Yamaha just released a new line of receivers, you could look at those. Of course, there's also those Onkyo's at the same price, like the 797 I believe.
The best thing for you to do is go to a store and just listen to the differences. You could also check
