It's nice to have options. smile You could go with the rx-a2030 with the intent that, when budget permits, you upgrade your amplification to the Outlaw 7125 and send the signal from the rx-a2030 pre-outs to the 7125. The 7125 is a nice amplifier. The other path would be the reverse, where you get the 975/7125 combo then swap-out your processor. Only you know how to weigh the trade-offs involved and whether the issues would keep you from using your system as frequently--I went through something similar recently.
