Default Which receiver to buy?

I am looking at 2 receivers right now...

The Onkyo TX-SR706 and the Yahama RX-V861. I have to be honest in that I'm not much of an audio person. My budget is about $1000. I will be using it in a 13 x 16 ft room watching TV the longer distance. My set up is a 42' Pioneer and PS3 as my blu-ray player. I also have a Dish Network VIP-722 HD DVR receiver hooked up. For my research, I checked out the reviews in Sound & Vision magazine and they both are rated very highly. From a pricing stand point the Onkyo goes for about $341 on Amazon and the Yahama is about $310 at a local Tweeter that is going out of business. (It normally retails for $899) Any suggestions on what I need to look for? I attached the reviews. The Yahama review is off by a model #. I couldn't an exact match on the RX-861
