As I stated in another thread my 990 meets all my needs. I hook video directly to the source and the analog connections provide great sound. I have no need for room correction so I will stick with my 990.

If you don't need/care about the room EQ or HDMI then you almost have to jump on the 990 for 700 bucks.
