Comparing Onkyo Systems

[Arbucks]

I'm trying to decide between two home theater audio systems.

First ($529):

Second ($729):

Just curious if it is worth the 200$ upgrade between systems.

Nope.

I would keep the first and save up money to upgrade the fronts to floorstanders maybe later. The second one's front speakers look pretty bad, like a bookshelf nailed to a piece of wood to look like a floorstander lol.
