Both are really nice and have been a popular choice for the people at AVS who participate in the Atmos topic.

I am still hoping that the next round will yield a full 11.1 amplified system (no need for an external amp) that does Atmos and gen2 DTS:X and doesn't cost $2000+

You can get into Atmos for less than that, even with a 7.1.4 setup, but usually you need a separate amp. I guess if the pricing difference was big enough (external amp setup potentially cheaper) then I would look into that again just as a cost savings, but depending on the amp make and model, it doesn't seem like it would be.
