Between the two? The HK is the one to get. The Sony can only pass through video via HDMI the HK does audio and video.

Harman Kardon.

If those are your only choices, then the HK.

this is what i can afford now and want to see. So the price for the HK is a good one?

I would say the HK, but be aware that it applies upscaling (and not so great upscaling) to SD sources that cannot be turned off. If you're using the PS3 for DVD's then they're upscaled to 1080p (or whatever your case may be) and it doesn't matter since the 247 will just pass it through, but if for whatever reason you'll want to have a separate DVD player, my mother in law has one and her DVDs look like crap when compared to running the player straight to the TV.
