Denon AVR 2105 VS 2805

This is going to be my first Home Theather setup and those are the two receiver s i have come to like.

My question is which one should i get.
Right now i am debating on wether to buy them refurbished or to purchase them retail. 2 YR warranty on retail and 90 days on refurb.

Have any of you had to use their warranty on receivers?

the 2105 goes for 650 Retail and hte refurb goes for 350 (US prices)
the 2805 goes for 900 retail and the refurb goes for 550 (also US prices)

Is the 2805 worth the extra 200 odd dollars to get?

 

It will cost you $180 for them to send you a refurb from the states.

The cheapest i could get it sent was for £455,($800 or so in total) and then the company that i tried to get it from kept messing me about, so i have put it on hold and will get the 2805 from over here for £519, for a new one.

 

I live in the US... So shipping is only 50 dollars so i am looking at 600 US total for the 2805, but i am curious if you guys think its worth getting a refurb of 2805 or a retail of the 2105?

 

I think the general opinion i have heard and read is that the 2805 is a lot better.

Ecost was the cheapest place i found the 2805 btw, hope it helps.

Apologies also, i didn't realise you were in the states.
