VSX 1019AH-K vs. Onkyo TX-Sr608

I believe these two are on the same line. I'm trying to figure out which is a better buy. What do you guys think?

Also, is there a place that sells refurbs of the 1019?

It's not even close for me, I'd go for the Onkyo. BTW the 1019 is last years model and the step up last years model Onkyo is the 607. If you're in the US you can pick up a factory refurbished 607 for $300 from accessories for less.

That's what I'm leaning towards. I think the refurb deal is great.
