Much better idea to save up for the 875 instead IMO.

To give perspective, I put most of the RS1 on a credit card, I HATE credit cards, but I hated not having the RS1 more. Plus a car payment... $350 to get my DVDs and HD DVDs up to snuff is bargain compared to a $1,300 receiver so TV could also benifit from Reon, when I already have an excellent receiver. Though I admit, that Onkyo 875 is a bargain with the amount of features it has plus 140w per channel. But it would be a year anyway before I could justify spending more scratch on the theater room, especially on an item I'd intend to upgrade.
This year is about getting that stuff paid off, next year I plan to blow 4k on seperate amps and probably a processor(got my eye on a Sunfire 5 or 7ch amp with 400w per channel). So for a mere $350, I can enjoy excellent DVD and HD-DVD quality till then.
