I'm looking at a few different AVRs, but think I am leaning toward the VSX-94TXH or TX-NR905. Looking for recommendations (pros/cons) and what you would purchase.

Thanks!!

Kind of depends...how are you finding the prices on both units that are available to you? The Onkyo with the built in Reon video processor should be much better a upscaling sources than the Faroudja chipse in the Pioneer, but the Pioneer's also seem to be a bit more reliable in terms of bugs as well as producing a lot less heat. Then again, that Onkyo has a monster amp section and power supply compared to just about anything out there in a similar price range.

By numbers alone the Onkyo will overwhelm the Pioneer Elite, however as Thunder noted the Pioneer is probably going to run a lot cooler and may have a longer lifespan based on that.
