Wrong featureset?
All the features you're mentioning for the VSX-1020 as to be the first to have them in this line, are already present on the VSX-920!
Things like ethernet connectivity and internet streaming, iphone control, ipod connection, zone 2 and more... Not sure about the GUI vs Text OSD though, but since the 920, 1020 and 1025 share a users manual, i guess that's also the same.
As far as i can see the only difference is the number of HDMI inputs (6 vs 4)...
