Turns out, Best Buy has the VSX-23 in stock. I had them hold one for me today, they were going to take $50 off, and I drove there after work. I spent about ten minutes looking at the model in their Magnolia room, though, and I just wasn't impressed. Perhaps a wonderful sounding unit, but I wasn't taken by the look or by the remote, so I decided to save my $900 and think about it. I think that the only thing that it would buy me is audio over HDMI, so I don't feel too bad about it.
On a positive note, Best Buy is near a liquor store that carries the Agave Wheat beer that I like, so I went into that store for the first time. While there, I made what I would consider a huge find - they carry La Chouffe! I have never seen it in Tucson before, and I've been relying on mail orders and personal deliveries by family members (when they come to visit) for years. They only had one bottle in the size that I'm used to seeing, but they had quite a few smaller bottles that I've never seen before. I got the large bottle, as the smaller bottles were about 11oz and cost $4.59/each. I got another Belgian beer that I've never heard of, and I might partake of that tonight.
