Best AV Receiver with HDMI from £300 to £650?
Given the apparent non-existence of the Sony STRDA3200ES up here (in the Glasgow area) and that that the Sony STRDA1200ES reportedly does not do multi-channel audio via the HDMI input I'm seeking an AV receiver that is available and does both audio and video over HDMI. All receivers considered except Denon given their anti-competitive ways.

Price range is from £300 to £650, it is a must that it does audio via HDMI (I've only put HDMI cables in for the DVD recorder and Sky HD box) and that it is a known performer. Any suggestions?

The Sony 1200ES would have been ideal but as said it apparently doesn't do multi-channel audio over HDMI and the 3200ES seems to be non-existant (I haven't seen any professional reviews of it) and it's availability appears limited on the web.
