Marantz 7002/8002 best receiver out for 2 hdmi out?

[Footloose301]

They are pretty close in spec. The 8002 obviously costs more, and also has 125w per channel rather than 110 and has gold plated rca connections. I'm not sure if its actually worth spending the money for the 8002 over the 7002. I'm actually in this VERY SAME state as you. I'm trying to decide between the 8002/7002.

Otherwise you've got different name brands and could go with the Onkyo TX-NR905 which is actually more powerful (140w), has 2 HDMI outputs, but also has network capabilities that the Marantz do not have.

However, I do believe that the Marantz would be a better receiver from and audiophile standpoint.
