You struggle with that which we all struggle with...upgraditus! I was in the same boat as you with my Sony, not sure weather to keep or upgrade...but then it blew up. I mean literally it started sparking and smoking and well...I'm receiver shopping.
I'm sure that you'll be fine either way (staying or upgrading). It's always fun to make purchases. I was saving up for seperates, but now I'm just looking into a standalone receiver because I want to get up and running faster. But if I were in your shoes...and you wanted a great deal of power and performance I'd save up my money and go with where I was headed. The Outlaw 950/7100 combo for $1700 (after you buy the interconnects). Or if you're really wanting an upgrade you can go the 950/755 or 950/770 route for twice the wattage (100w per channel to 200w per channel), but you'll be looking at a good jump in price. You can check them out here www.outlawaudio.com. Good luck
