Then you add at this price makes it so much more complicated!
The one that is said to have the worse RC won/beat the one that includes one portion of the "best" and the other that includes a comparable RC(to the best) and offers all of the "best"(not just a portion)!? 🤷🏻 ♂️
The 3800 was much easier to set up(don't lose sub/bass integration).
Ultimately I definitely preferred the 3800, it does come down to that TBH.
When I added DL/DLBC it was no contest but imo DLBC is what separates itself from Audyssey even if it's a slight difference.
Keep in mind I am very comfortable using both RCs and calibration.
I will say if you plan on just using the internal amps the RZ50 can have a slight edge.
Keep in mind if that's the case you're better off getting the 7100 for $550, audibly there really is no difference.
Hope that helps.

The bigger question is are the extra features worth the extra $100.
If not pocket the $100 and enjoy imo.
BEWARE the HDMI AUDIO HANDSHAKE!!!
I've since switched to Denon and never looked back. Much, MUCH better customer service (on the few minor things I've needed to call for) and all around just a better product with better logic for menus and such. My crown jewel is the Denon AVR-X4700H. I paid a lot more than this receiver, and it's not really a comparison, but I can't imagine paying nearly $1800 for an Onkyo after that fiasco.
I understand, shi.... err, stuff happens. But how a company handles it when it does matters. I don't feel Onkyo handled it in the best way. I'm actually surprised they're still in business.
