Pioneer 505 - $749
Dirac full bandwidth is included - $0
Dirac microphone is included - $0
Total - $749
Denon 3800 - $1000
Dirac full bandwidth is $349
Dirac microphone is $100
Total - $1449
So the price difference is $700, not $500. Options almost double the Denon price when making an equal comparison.
Differences are power rating 120w for Pioneer vs 105w for Denon. Sometime in 2024 Denon will add a Dirac bass control module (Not available on the Pioneer but adds another $499 for multi sub version). Or you may choose another type of sub EQ if you desire and not use this module at all.
Bang for the buck, you will have a hard time finding better performance than this Pioneer for the same money.
Running a rp-504c, rp-8000f ii, and various in ceiling speakers. 5.2.2 setup.

the only downside to this is that is does have less flexibility in crossover settings,. if this is a feature you would like more flexibility with then look at the sister product (Onkyo TX-RZ50 currently $1199)

the onkyo RZ50 ($1,199) is the equivalent to the pioneer 505 model (On sale for $749). It has Dirac with pre-outs

He also loses independent crossover setting, independent sub outs, all assignable channels, pre amp mode and if you believe Dirac is head and shoulders better losing the option to Dirac's DLBC would be an important big one!
