I'm torn and am looking for some advice from anyone willing to give it. I'm very much enamored with Outlaw products even though I still don't own one. However, Outlaw's rep precedes it. So, knowing they make excellent products, I'd like to order a 1070 but I'm also fond of the Marantz SR8500, a model highly comparable to the 1070. However, the 8500 also has THX Select and a few more watts. Am I overselling myself on the value of THX select, especially since my A/V room's pretty small?

What can anyone advise? Are there other bene's with either unit that I'm overlooking? Thanks for any feedback.
