If all you need are 9 channels and won't use pre outs(which is common), wait for $549 price to come back for this.
There is no real difference between the two, power difference is minute.
That's from Adorama, not sure I would honestly do that when we are a month away from probably getting $550 again (my biggest concern is whether Onkyo would honor the warranty? not sure)

Yes and how moderate & how this ding happened?

Sorry to bother, but I'm looking to replace a quite old Onkyo receiver for a 5.1 setup. I haven't looked into this tech for quite some time, and playing catch up at the moment. My current setup has as HDMI switch with output going to the TV, and 4 HDMI inputs and the fiber-optic connection comes from the HDMI switch to the Onkyo receiver. Am i correct in assuming that with the HDMI ports here, I will eliminate the need for the HDMI switch I currently use, as this would take its place?
Secondly, do you have a recommendation for a similar receiver for a 5.1 setup? I'm not really an audio or cinema 'ophile and not even really using that great of surround speakers, but would like to make sure I don't gimp myself, and get the most for the money spent.
Appreciate any recommend you may have. Thanks in advance!

For the 1st, basically yes.
2nd I would suggest going with used,slightly older,refurbished model.
With these newer models, you're paying for many features you don't need/use.
Here, I regularly see older higher tier AVRs for sale for pretty inexpensive.
Often it's because they upgraded not because of issues.
Just look for features you need, channels shouldn't be an issue, if anything you'll have to go with more to get features you need.
If you have no brand preference, I would suggest Denon or Yamaha, they are pretty reliable.
Hope that helps, good luck.

I'd recommend adding 2 more speakers for rear left and right…it makes a huge difference especially in rain scenes!
Any amp these days can give you 7.1

Thank you for the reply and recommendation. Appreciated. I will look into it, though the room this is for is long and narrow, so side channels are a challenge, as there are couches along both walls, and a window on 1 wall...possible, but would look very "bolted on" i think.

Ended up grabbing a refurb Denon AVR-S760H 7.2 AVR off Amazon for $300. Should arrive Thursday, so excited to see how it performs, and really excited at the fact that i get to downsize the setup and get rid of the HDMI switch. Which means a Harmony reprogram, but that's fine...it's been a while anyway.
