Elite vs. Yamaha

[Bdog]

I am trying to decide which receiver to buy. Yamaha RX-v663/HTR6160, Pioneer Elite VSX-91TXH, or Pioneer VSX-1018AH. Prices I have been quoted are within $50 of each other, with the lowest price being the HTR6160. Any thoughts on these? Will be using with Samsung 630 LCD and blue ray. I made a deal on a 6160 that fell through and now I have a few more options and have started to rethink(driving my wife crazy)any help appreciated.

The 663 and 1018 are comparable in $$,but the Pioneer has 3 HDMI inputs v.s. 2 for the Yamaha. The Elite seems kinda pricey with only 2 HDMI's.
My 863 has 3 HDMI's but I only use 2 of them anyway (PS3&HDDVR), so that didn't really matter much. They're good choices depending on your needs.
Good luck!

You can get a VSX-01-TXH for $499 It has more features and is THX certified along with all the new codecs and video upconversion
