Unless it is significantly cheaper or you really really *really* like Yamaha sound there is no reason to go for the Yamaha over this at this price.
Community Reviews
The TX-RZ30 stands out as a newer 9-channel AV receiver with HDMI 2.1a, dual independent sub outs, preouts, and Dirac Live room correction with access to DLBC. That combination makes it appealing for 5.1, 5.1.2, or larger setups, and the room correction is repeatedly described as a major upgrade over Yamaha YPAO and older Audyssey tuning. The main caveats are that Dirac has a learning curve, DLBC is a separate subscription, and the internal amps stay engaged when using preouts. A few reports also raise reliability concerns, including hiss or static and the need for good ventilation. It is a strong feature-rich receiver if those tradeoffs fit the setup.
Common Questions (5)
Yes, the front left/right channels can be fed to an external amplifier through the pre-outs. The internal amps cannot be fully disengaged in a preamp mode on this model, so the receiver still draws power while the pre-outs are used.
It fits well if you want room correction, 9 internal channels, and about 100W per channel without needing more than 9 channels. It can handle a 5.1 or 5.1.2 system, and the extra channels mainly matter if you want to expand beyond that later.
It needs room to breathe and can run quite warm, but it is not reported as hotter than comparable Denon/Marantz models. Reliability feedback is mixed in the thread: some owners report years of trouble-free use, while others mention overheating or noise issues and recommend active cooling.
The TX-RZ30 includes Dirac Live room correction, but DLBC is not included in the box and requires a separate subscription. It also does not have access to Dirac ART; the practical benefit is that you still get Dirac's base room correction, while bass/subwoofer correction needs the add-on.
Dirac Live is more capable than Yamaha YPAO for room correction, but it usually takes more tweaking to get the best result. The TX-RZ30 also has HDMI 2.1a and more channel support than the Yamaha model discussed, making it the stronger feature pick at this price.

He did mention that it was a one-off approved by his sales manager, but it's at least worth a try trying if you're wanting to score one. I'd approach it the same way I did, it's at least worth a shot.
We're moving into a new house and I needed it to finish off our home theater setup, so I wasn't wanting to wait around for another deal.

What have you chosen now? I'm also on the same budget
8000F IIx2 - $800, 504C II - $299, 502S II x 4 $738, CDT-5800C II x2 -$200, RP-1000SW x2 - $720 or RSL 10E X2 $700
IF the $570 sale comes back, the extra $130 on this gets you:
4 years newer unit, 2 independent sub outs, access to Dirac's subwoofer/bass RC(DLBC), HDMI 2.1a.
Here is comparison to the other differences.
