I had that same choice, although my Anthem dealer was actually (gently) pushing the D2. I don't need the video switching as between my PJ, HTPC and a Zektor I have that covered. What I will want in the future is HDMI inputs for full rez HD audio from the new formats, and neither the 990 nor AVM30 offer that (D2 apparently does). The audio section of the 990 is top notch and the entire unit costs less than whatever an AVM-30 upgrade to add HDMI will eventually cost.

When HD audio sources and pre/pro's are really available in a year or so I'll decide what to do at that time. I'll sell the 990 and buy whatever is best then, maybe Outlaw, maybe Anthem, or ???. Even at that time I probably won't need the video switching.
