Wow, great review Michael!

Now, may I ask how much this beast cost? Apart from HDMI, what made you pick it instead of Rotel? Don't you think that it is probably wise to wait for HDMI 1.3 receivers? I am sorry but I cannot help buy ask these questions to myself. I am sold on this one just from your review!
