I am a 1050 owner and have mulled over the choice to go with seperates, but I'm just too darn happy with the 1050. It's plenty loud enough and I don't think the pro logic 2 will buy me anything since I get a digital signal with regular TV. I have 6 channels of top quality sound and I don't see needing any more power until I get a [much] bigger room. The 1050 is so choice. It's like anything else: you pay $9 for a bottle of wine and it is pretty good, you get a $25 bottle and it's really good, but the $500 bottle isn't _that_ much better than the $25 unless you're a snob.
