I'm also surprised this doesn't have balanced preouts considering its a flagship model.

I agree that $7k for any receiver is a tad much and that separates are definitely the way to go for anyone looking at gear in this price range. But for anyone who absolutely has to have a receiver instead of separates, this Pioneer just might be the best one out there.
Re the balanced pre-outs, actually I don't think there are any AV receivers out there with balanced pre-outs. I looked into that before and found none. So as far as I know only pre/pro's have 'em.
