Marantz or Denon: Which AVR to buy?

[Travis]

I'm wondering about the differences between the 6003 and 7002, as well the new 6004. As far as I can see the 7002 is great except no upconverting to 1080p, not a matter because all players do it.

Thought I was getting the 6003 this weekend, now I am having last minute doubts. If I can get a good price, wonder if the 7002 is the best choice for me. The 7002 might be a couple generations back, but like post above says, no significant changes in AVRs over the last few years. right?

If the 7002 can be had for say 200 dollars over the 6003 is it worth it? Just speculating on prices, found some online, but will shop tomorrow.
