Great is time,the Onkyo has component video switching,the Outlaw does not.The Outlaw has pre-amp outputs for all 6.1 channels,the Onkyo does not.The Onkyo has dolby-pro2,the Outlaw does not.The Outlaw handles 4 ohms,the Onkyo does not.Now the sound on the Outlaw i think,(i know is better)then the Onkyo;plus you get to demo the Outlaw on your own home,my recomendation would be to try the Outlaw in your home and you will find out if that's what your looking for.The truth is on the DEMO.....
