Thanks for the replies, everyone.
I have been offered a really sweet deal on a new AVM-30, so that is the way I'm leaning right now. I may get the AVM, and order a 990 then compare them in my setup. I really just like the added flexibility the Anthem offers.
I really don't care about switching, since I prefer to switch my video thru the TV.
The Arcam is nice, but after comparing it to the Anthem, it just doesn't fit the bill.
