The Denon 3803 that I ordered has not shipped yet. I just found out that 3802 has substantially gone down in price and available from authorized dealers at $380 cheaper. There is quite a list of improvements on 3803 including a newly developed block capacitor, AL24 processor, the latest Melody100 DSP, additional 40/60Hz crossover, 192kHz A/D conversion, etc. Would these improvements really make better sounds, improved video, and technically more advanced thus would somewhat "future proof" my receiver purchase?

More importantly, are all these improvements worth $380?
