Besides the analog 7.1 capability of the 550, what more does it offer over the 350? It appears that there is a $100 more in the price difference between the two units.

If I upgrade my receiver in the future to a HDMI receiver, I can just run the HDMI cable from the Blue Ray to the receiver and then from the receiver to the TV, correct? And this will give me the best sound & audio?
