I think people with projects like to have backup screens that they can use just to navigate menus for music playback, rather than running up the hours on their project's bulb. But that could also easily be accomplished by an external switch.
So yeah, it wasn't something I felt was a real plus to me either. And too, would have rather have 6 inputs.
Actually, I'd like to see a receiver with only 1 HDMI input, and the ability to track input devices by their EDID, so you could use what ever size of switch or video processor or what ever you want before the receiver/pre-pro, and it would not object to having different devices being swapped out all the time.
Of course, combining that flexibility with more than one port wouldn't hurt at all.
