best used 5.1 dd/dts pre/pro?

I'm in the process of going from a receiver to separates, and I will be moving into a new house that won't allow for 6.1 surround (the room will only allow for two surrounds).
Therefore, I thought I might be better off buying a higher quality used 5.1 pre/pro instead of spending the same to get a new, lower quality 6.1 pre/pro that I won't be able to fully utilize.

Any suggestions? I have a separate, stereo preamp for 2-channel (which I listen to 65% of the time), so the 2-channel capabilities are not of the upmost importance. But, it would be convenient to have something that sounded pretty good on stereo stuff in case I was feeling lazy. Thanks!

Sdcampbell, i agree with your suggestions in that price range. Excellent work. I know this is not my thread, But am curious about the Bryston you mention. I know it is relatively new in the field and as such not too much info. on it. Could you enlighten me/us? What in particular do you like about it? Features? Pros/cons generally, e.g.,upgradable? MSRP? Nothing fancy, no full blown review is necessary, but do kick down a few lines.

Thanks,
Chris
