So, now that some of you Outlaws have replaced the 1050 with the 1070, what are the main things that have been improved? Aside from the newer processing modes, is the sonic performance a night and day difference? Can you still access all the functions via the front panel w/out the remote? Is there a noticable improvement in the amplifier(dynamics, etc.)?

In other words, if you have not really changed your basic system with a 1050(5.1 to 6.1/7.1), and can only think of upgrading to add analog bass management for SACD/DVD-A, is it worth it, or would an ICBM be the better route?
