Onkyo TX-NR709 / Denon 2112CI / Denon 2312CI / Marantz SR5006

I am having a difficult time deciding between these 4 AVRs.. they are so closely speced wrt each other and wrt prices.

I will be using it to drive the following speakers.
Pioneer SP-FS51-LR
Pioneer SP-BS41-LR
Pioneer SP-C21
Note all of these are 6 ohm speakers, and from their impedance charts measured by Stereophile / Home Theater, they stay more or less above 6 ohms for the entire frequency range.

Also my room is about 3500 cu ft if that should be a consideration. I am especially interested in the Audyssey MultEQ room correction software hence only the Onkyo / Denon / Marantz choices.

I see that Denon and Marantz have the AirPlay advantage over Onkyo, though not sure if it is such a big factor considering DLNA is still available.

Kindly help me decide if there any more factors to be considered.

Shortlisted to 2 options now:

Denon 2112CI
Onkyo TX-NR709

Any thoughts guys?

I would go with the 709, because it has preamp outputs for all channels, and you might want to add a power amplifier for the front 2 or 3 channels at some point. I'm not sure if the other one has them.

In any case, the 709 has a lot of features.
