The Rotel reciever is likely the best reciever in the bunch, however, the Denon player is by far the most well reviewed player in the bunch, as well as being universal to boot. I have to go Denon, unless your brother is not interested in SACD, which he will be once he hears it on his Axioms.
Rotel is just charging too much for a DVD-A only player.
I also despise the way Yamaha products look (the whole orange display thing), and I love the gun metal silver Denon products and the silver Rotel products with the black on the side.
