@irvsax - thanks, nice to hear this stuff from someone who has one to play with and can confirm I've got the pros/cons covered.
Going to a dealer demo arranged for tomorrow afternoon to at least see/hear this stuff for myself. Especially since I am completely clueless as to what speakers to buy, given my budget is fairly open ended. The dealer also mentioned I should look at the Onkyo TX-NR 3009/5009 - which if I read correctly earlier in this thread has HDMI passthrough that works with Sky. So for all I know my question might turn out to be academic if I don't end up with a Pioneer - we shall see what happens.
Thanks again.
