Time for a new a/v receiver could use some input!

I have an Arcam avr400 which is HDMI 1.4 and need a HDMI 2.0 4K receiver.
I'm using a 5.1 set up, so I looked at Arcam but I'm not happy with problems of handshake
So I decided to get another brand.

I'm down to either the Anthem MRX720 or the Marantz SR7013 
just want to stay around $2,500 its 5.1 but I like the power the Arcam has.
Not sure if they are equal in power ratings but I think they are both powerful enough.

The Marantz has all the gadgets you can think of,  but I'm looking for good sound,
 and a lot of people say that the Anthem sounds better, any thoughts?
Thank you

I have same dilemma to solve this year !!!! :( 

I have 5.1 set up 4x b&w 803d3 centre and velodyne 15+ sub running by Classe 5300 

processor I have is an Arcam and I am not particular happy with the performance.   I feel it is lacking clarity 

I mainly use this set up for music but also watch movies therefore 4K pass through is essential.  
Any ideas ? 
I was looking at Bristan maybe ?
