The discounts aren't too bad, the 3805 would run me about $760. Cheaper than most, and maybe the best deal overall. Maybe I'm over thinking this one, but I'd want to make sure I've got a little room to grow in the future. The connection formats are changing faster than the stockmarket!, and thats got me thinking a little. Most of my CURRENT stuff is component video, but as I upgrade, I'd a little flexability.

I currently plan to hook up to the receiver:
1) DVD/SACD (component video, digital coax)
2) VCR (s-video, rca audio)
3) HD Cable (component video, fiber audio)
4) HD Antenna feed (component video, fiber audio)
5) Xbox for kids (just fiber audio, component video going direct to TV)

From receiver, all video going to HD TV (component video), and without upconversion in receiver, VCR running direct to TV via s-video.

That's the plan, so will the 3805 fit that bill, and if I run 7.1, will the amps be there? or are some of these other options a better fit?
