At one point in time, when both processors were new, this debate was beaten to death. To give you a synopsis of what resulted, basically everyone who owned an Outlaw liked the Outlaw better and everyone who owned Rotel liked the Rotel better. At the very beginning Outlaw had some hiss problems and Rotel had limited video switching bandwidth, both of which have been fixed, so keep that in mind if reading archived threads.

IMO, at this stage of the game, both processors are getting a little old, so I would look to spend as little as possible, aka, the outlaw.
