That would cover the majority of DLBC cost especially for BF sale.
However...still a performance king at the time at this price point, all in
I have owned both its sister units and still own the Integra 8.4, they all share the same amp/power supply
Very high overall performance for the price point and frankly in a world of its own for a 1 box solution
Not to mention how you're defining "performance".
If you don't need 11 channels, they're plenty of much less expensive options with very similar real world audible performance.
Plenty of people understand(ie AVS,etc)benchmark specs performance(ie SINAD,DAC,etc) is not actually an audible benefit for surround/multi channel content.
Amp/power supply performance is easily negated using the pre outs.
Often people point out that Dirac is head and shoulders better performance benefit.
If true, this(nor both sister units & Integra 8.4) offer Dirac's top RC D-ART.
Just within Onkyo brand, having personally experience setting up all their current models.
Based on real world audible performance.
Unless you NEEDED an 11 powered 1 box solution.
I would say the RZ30 at $700 as being the high overall audible performance best price point.
Especially if you added the head & shoulders benefit of Dirac Bass Control and still having approximately $700 left in your pocket!
These new Onkyo units are a good match with SVS loudspeakers ime.

If you are thinking about it...and your room is set up the way mine is (height speakers in front and back...with surround speakers on the side) and the proper subwoofer(s)...
...just do it.
Buying used is typically great for value (especially for cars) but not knowing the history or how the item was treated can be a gamble.

About 3 years ago, I bought an open box RZ50 at the Best Buy outlet for like $575
I used it two years and sold it for what I paid for it
It sold in 1 day
That is an outstanding unit...especially for a sub $600 price..
Dirac onboard at no extra charge to boot
