Pioneer VSX-LX505 or VSX-LX305? - Blu-ray Forum

Hello fellow audiophiles.....I am going HDMI 2.1/4K finally. If you see the equipment in my thread, I am waayy behind the times. I am moving into my new place in July, so I have time to do the research now. I will be getting a new LG G2 OLED TV and Panasonic DP-UB820 Player. I will only be watching TV/movies and some music listening with this (no gaming). Not sure for my purposes if the 505 is worth the extra money.....hit me with your opinions. Thanks.

Well, I assumed the 305 would come with pre-outs, but it does not apparently (at least not in the conventional way from what I gather). That is a deal breaker....looks like the 505 for me.
