I went for the Integra 40.1 which is working nicely for me, and is in the same price range as the 997. It is a good quality, well built unit.
  • HDMI switching for audio and video
  • 2 HDMI outputs (main and sub)
  • Audyssey speaker calibration
  • Good sound quality (I play SACD/DVDA/DTS/TrueHD etc)
  • Good picture quality (can't complain)
  • Integrated internet radio
  • No phono input
  • Supports 7.1

There is also the 80.1 which has some upscale features.
