Well, I have an Integra(devision of Onkyo) receiver with Prologic 2 and I really like Prologic 2. I would go for an Onkyo...poss. the new 797 model(Integra 7.2), or one of the new Harmon Kardon models...poss the 512, Denon also make a great receiver...say a 2802 or a 3802. Marantz has some new models out....One of the new models....7200 received a poor review(hiss and low power rating). Marantz also is supposedly better at music than home theater.
Now, the Outlaw has one advantage...it will power 6 speakers (6.1 surround encoded on certain DVD's.). This gives you the ability to add a rear center channel speaker. This was a rare trait when the Outlaw was introduced but not so rare now. Many people find that placing a rear center channel can be difficult as well. How much it adds is questionable.
If it were me, I'd give serious consideration to the Onkyo 797(just released and also 6.1 surround) but it's a little more (around $800). Or the Harmon Kardon 512 or cheaper 312.

Good luck
