This is brand new vs the refurbished deal being offered for $20 less through Onkyo direct. Return window isn't as good at Best Buy. 15 days if I recall correctly. Bestbuy is also offering 24 months financing, with the Best Buy card on Home theater Purchases of $999 and up or you can get 5% back with the bestbuy card and no financing.

I have a 6 channel amp to pair with this, so I will need to use some it's internal amp channels. Is there a way to selectively turn off some of the amp channels to hopefully avoid its power limiting issue?
Nvm: Found the answer, it goes into power limiting mode even with no speakers connected using full pre outs.
I am considering this but I can't get a straight impression on if the speaker calibration is better than Sony's 360 spatial audio.
I would hold out for the Sony measurements and reviews. That's supposed to *try* and compete with Dirac Live's flagship "active room treatment" for a fraction of the cost. This feature is typically only on the flagship AVR's like the denon avr-a1h ($6500 retail). Sony 360 avr's are supposed to be between $900-3300 or so.
I was going to buy this receiver to upgrade from my Yamaha rx2070, due to this having Dirac calibration. But been seeing a lot of people having issues with Onkyo, so I will hold off an either get an anthem or arcam receiver.
Same here I am still using a yamaha tsr-7810 but will wait for an anthem pre/pro with external amp.

It's a great deal for a receiver with Dirac.

Seems like a good deal on the best room correction system at anywhere near this price point
Give high consideration on running this with a separate amp

The one posted is new. The other one direct from Onkyo is refurbished.
