Should I Buy a Sony DAV-IS 10 or HT-SF1300 or RHT-G800

Hi Guys
I'm new to this forum so I could do with some advice.
I've currently got a Sony KDL-40W3000 TV connected to a RDR-HXD870B DVD HDD player. I've decided that the sound from the TV is poor and need a Home entertainment system.

I'm really keen on the DAV-IS 10 but it's only 1080i upscaling and has no input HDMI. If I wanted to listen to the HDD player through the DAV-IS 10 how could I go about this and would it turn on and off using Bravia sync?

I like the idea of the RHT-G800 but have heard a few reviews on the poor sound quality and as I want to play music CD from the RDR-HXD870B it could rule this out.

Which brings me to the HT-SF1300.

I'm certainly no expert on these things, however i recently bought the Sony DAV-IS 10 and it does have an HDMI. I have my tv connected to the sony with a HDMI cable.

Out of your choices you should get the HT-SF1300.

They are certainly appearing slowly, and dissapearing at a rapid rate at the moment. I'm sure that the 1200 was only around for a few months.
