clemmons,

How much are you looking to put down on the receiver? I just purchased a Denon 3802 in Toronto. I looked and was pretty much going to go with the 2802 but for the added power, more 'future proof' features and the more appealing look of the remote I spent a few more dollars for the 3802. I have owned it for 2 months now and haven't looked back.

Just a thought.
