Hahaha, actually I did look at it. One thing I was concerned about, and perhaps you can clear it up is that the 701 and I "think" the newer 702 are both 6.1 and not 7.1. Ok, I seriously won't even use the rear channels right now, but in the future should I want to I would rather be on the cutting edge now than have (want) to upgrade later on. Is this the case?

Thanks bigjohn,
