Dont know anything about Rotel but my local dealer loves the Arcam and Anthem gear. I chose an Anthem MRX-500. Based on things iv'e heard I would probably go with Arcam...

I agree, I think i'd lean more towards the Arcam. Haven't heard either but just a quick glance at the specs, the Arcam seems to be a little better build and the one thing that stood out is that the Rotel is HDMI 1.4 while the Arcam is 1.4a telling me that it is a newer model...
