Couple reasons:
1) The 705 has one additional HMI port over the 605.
2) The 605 has a very common problem specific to the 605 model in which you will randomly get "popping" sounds on a random speaker at a random volume.
If you get a 605, you may or may not have this problem, but it is very common and something to be aware of before purchasing.

My only complaint with either model is that it only upconverts component inputs for 720 hdmi out. this means you will only have 720 if using your hdmi out even if the incoming component signal is 1080. I have three devices in ym theater, my blu-ray, my appletv, and my cable box. all of which are high def, this means at least one of them would have been downgraded to 720 because there are only 2 hdmi inputs. With the 705 I can use hdmi for all the connections. and keep my 1080 picture quality for all my components.

YOu confused the heck out of me. I just bought the 705, hadnt opened it yet, but now I'm seeing you say this and that about 720. Answer me this one question. I have a PS3 using HDMI. If I connect my HDMI from PS3 to the 705, will I still be able to see a 1080p picture quality or no? Or will I be reduced to 720p?
