Best for MP3s-Sony HT-DDW890, or Yamaha AV-4101?

Hello all-
Hope someone here can help me out with this:
I'm hesitating between the Sony and the Yamaha; I've read a lot here that the Sony is great, but not much about the Yamaha. I'm not too concerned so much in the movie quality, more in the MP3 treatment. The Yamaha has that "Compressed Music Enhancer." Is it just a gimmick? On Pixmania here in France it's about 130 Euro more than the Sony, which is going for 276 right now
So, waddya think?
Thanks for any input
edit: I should mention that almost all of my MP3s are either VBR -VO or 320.

Nobody?
I guess I just want to know how that "Compressed Music Enhancer" is......
If someone can sell me on the Yamaha, over the Sony, I'm all ears

I have the Sony and play MP3s on this.
They sound very good and you can have the music on all 6 speakers at the same time.

Ive read that some think the Sony is better for music but I have not heard the other amp so cannot say.

Thanks! That's all I needed to hear. Gonna grab it on Pixmania. Here in Paris we can pick it up at their store 24 hours after ordering it
