Sony STR-DH800

Hello.

I'm getting tempted by getting the Sony receiver that amazon is having for around $200 (It shifts sometimes), here's the link.

It has some nice features such as lossless audio decoding via HDMI with 4 HDMI outputs and the 7.1 speakers can work as a Bi-amp for 5.1 movie watching.

I'm planning on getting the Oppo BDP-83 blu ray player (or the BDP-80) mainly for the subtitle shift feature (If anyone can give a link to a PS3 subtitle shift hack, I'll be pleased).

My main concern is the audio quality and the weight of the unit is kind of light. I might not get it if it's more of a downgrade from my yamaha HTR-5640 listed. The price however is too good to be true.
