I was quoted about $1,000 on an Integra (lexus of Onkyo) 8.9 this weekend. I think it has the ISF video section and killer upscaller, so it would be a great pre/pro with huge multi-zone capabilites if you have another amp. Seems like overkill for a pre/pro, but companies just don't want to fill the void of pre/pros. The Integra 9.9 Pre/Pro lacks the amps of the AVR 9.9, has the same features, and cost the same. WHAT? It should be $500 less and I would get one today. Anyway, good luck.
