Onkyo Factory reconditioned.

[Fors]

Anyone have much experience with factory reconditioned onkyo systems? I am thinking of getting a s6100 or s6200 set from www.accessories4less.com but I have never really bought reconditioned stuff, I really only have $300 to spend but if I can talkt he wife into the extra I am thinking of this.

Edit. Also I dont have the room to set up 7.1 really. So would I be able to use these as 5.1 and not hook up the other 2 speakers? I have no area behind the main seating area so really nowhere to put the other 2 speakers.

I am open to some suggestions for a decent setup for 5.1 also. It dont have to me mind blowing as my budget is low, $300 but I may can push to $500 if I can sweet talk my wife into it. I was considering (and still am to an extent) the cheap Sony HTSS360 but im not sure how it would sound, currently I am using a sony CT-100 soundbar but the dialogue is too low alot of the time. The only requirement I would have is I want the reciever to have atleast 3 HDMI inputs that decode audio or whatever I dont want just passthrough.
