As I will probably be in a 5.1 setup for the foreseeable future, the Pro Logic II might be the deciding factor for me. It sounds like this is a useful thing for improving the experience of videos, CDs and regular tv. We will be listening to a lot of CDs and a watching a lot of regular tv (mostly sports). I wonder why the 1050 doesn't include this feature?

I really like everything I hear about the 1050. So, the question becomes, do I need Pro Logic II? If so, I may step up to the Denon AVR-2802 (I had ben considering the 1802). Does anyone else have any input? Thanks!
