Newbie wants help picking AVR


I'm looking at a DenonAVR 1804 and a YamahaRxv650 for my first home theater set up. Which one would be the best choice?

Can I have a third choice? I've sold both. Denon has a smoother amp, uses better transformers. Yamaha has more digital bells & w., more sens. tuners, better ergonomics. Reccommended Yam to a friend, it died 6 years later. Looked at Marantz? Adcom? Rotel? NAD? I doubt NAd or Mar. would be that much more, especially used. I've seen nice 2 zone rotels for 800 on audiogon. Blow Yam & Den out of the water. PS- youll never use those digital (fake) settings after you show off 2 friends, so spend the money on good amp
