Know you goals and get something to match. I think you will like the budget system just fine. For me I am glad I could add the front mains, especially for music. A 7.1-7.2 would be important to me. Having room to grow without needing a new AVR is a good thing. You may want to check out reviews of best budget AVRs and participate in forums at a place like AVS.com

Could you recommend some other receivers with similar price?

Also, not saying a quality 5.1 or higher system doesn't sound better than a sound bar. The science of sound is the science of sound. But outside the technicals of how sound moves is the reproduction quality of the sound. That's what separates a $200 receiver from a $600 from a $2000 one. A junk Sony, Yamaha, whatever receiver and crappy speakers and sub. isn't going to be any better a sound experience than a good sound bar but will be uglier and more distracting. Bottom line if you're budget is sub $500 just get a good sound bar.
Plus soundbar is all-in-one
Most people are not audiophiles
If they're even looking to upgrade their audio at all, they want the simplest solution as fast as possible

Even compared to a 2.1 setup, you're not getting the same audio quality because of the very size you keep bringing up. There's no room for decent drivers in soundbars.
I don't know why you're trying to sell people interested in receivers on soundbars. If they're looking at receivers, it's obvious they have at least some knowledge and interest in audio quality. People who are looking at receivers couldn't care less about soundbars so you're talking to the wind. That's like trying to convince someone interested in a performance car on a beige subcompact instead because it's more practical. Lol
