You seem very sure that the Outlaw is better with low impedance loads. I am aware of the specifications, but has anyone actually measured the performance of the Yamaha? If not, how can you be so sure that it is so vastly inferior to the Outlaw? There have been Yamaha receivers of the past that have not been rated for 4 ohm use, but when actually tested, they were good with 4 ohm speakers. So why are you so sure that this Yamaha is so inferior to the Outlaw?
All of that is, of course, only relevant if mrm1233 is actually going to use speakers that are difficult to drive, which is why I asked about that as the first thing in my response to whether or not the Yamaha was a good idea.
Also, not everyone who uses a 2 channel system uses a turntable, and given the fact that mrm1233 ordered the Yamaha, there is a good chance that he or she isn't planning on using a turntable with it.
As for the looks, I have not said in this thread anything about it, and given that mrm1233 is considering the Outlaw, and has actually ordered the Yamaha, both must be acceptable in appearance to him or her. (I do, however, regard the Outlaw as hideous looking [even though I generally prefer the "silver" look to the black box look], but I do not base my advice on that at all, as I will not be looking at it, and mrm1233 can see it and decide for him or herself about such a superficial matter.)
Since the Yamaha is already ordered, and since it costs less, unless there is an actual reason to believe that it will not be adequate for mrm1233's needs, I think it would be best to keep the Yamaha. Of course, it is up to mrm1233 to decide, and everyone is free to give their own opinion on the subject.
