Update: I did some more research and I've actually decided I will return the AVR-1912 and buy the AVR-2112. It adds the MultiEQ XT over the AVR-1912 MultiEQ which seems to be a huge upgrade, a 3 year warranty vs. a 2 year warranty (they're made in China afterall), and networking capability to change settings via the computer.
I read about Electronics Expo offering much better pricing if you call than their online advertized price. They're an authorized dealer and gave me a price of $449.00 shipped and I opted to add another 2 year warranty to it for just $29.99 more. With tax, it's $513.58, which is a much better deal than the $588 I paid at Best Buy last night for the lower end model.
If you're in the market for some electronics, you might give them a shot. 888-707-3976 and my rep was Jason at x152.
