Boy, I wish you hadn't posted this.
I'm hankering big time to pick up the 3020 but promised myself I would wait another year or two, especially considering I already have a 4600, 2600 & the 2700 model(s). The missus overall has been pretty indulgent of my addiction but if I get the 3020 I may writing a new book;
Tempting Fate.
If you don't need anything and don't want to be tempted to buy anyway, you should stay away from the "deals, Deals, DEALS!" forum. And if you are in need of one kind of thing, but not others, and do not want to be tempted, don't click on any threads that are about a kind of thing that you do not need. But if you choose to ignore this advice, do not complain about being tempted, as you are going where there will likely be temptations.
As for the receivers here, both of these are good prices for what the receivers are, and both are what I would buy if I were in the market for a receiver at their respective price points. But I know the RX-V2700 is a nice unit, and has good enough HDMI if one has a BD player that can convert the audio to multichannel PCM, and one does not require 3D video. So there is a really good chance that you should not be looking at threads like this one. And you should stop reading this post now, because I am about to write more that may increase the temptation.
The new RX-A3030 uses a Yamaha chip for video processing, instead of the nicely implemented HQV Vida chip in the RX-A3020. Now, it may be that Yamaha's chip works as well, but I have not yet seen any reviews covering its video processing, so right now, I would rather have the RX-A3020 than the replacement RX-A3030, because I know the RX-A3020 has really good video processing, and do not know about its replacement. And they will all be gone soon, so if you want the RX-A3020, you had better order it soon.
