Help me pick a new receiver for my new setup

I know you guys see this type of thread constantly, well here goes another. I currently have a Yamaha HTR-5790 that I am looking to upgrade. I mainly want HDMI switching on the receiver and 7.1 capabilities. I am about to purchase the Sony 50" kds50a3000 SXRD, already have an XBOX 360 w/ HDMI port, Toshiba HD-A1 but plan on upgrading to the A-30 for 1080p video with the tv, will be getting a PS3 or the new panasonic blu-ray player and an HD-Tivo. To get the best possible performance from this equipment, audio and video wise, which receiver do you guys recommend and why? Any personal stories would greatly be appreciated. My budget is no more than a $900 if that is possible. Thanks


edit: I am willing to use the hd-tivo with component cables to the receiver instead of hdmi so 4 hdmi ports are not necessary

In you guys opinions which would be the better deal? I have found the Onkyo 705 for under $700 dollars and I can get the Pioneer Elite 92 for a little under $700 or the Denon 3808 for right under $900. I want the best receiver for my money and dont mind spending a little more for what I will be needing. The extra HDMI input on the Denon is definately an attractive aspect of it but I'm not sure if it is even close to being worth spending another $200 dollars. The network capability of the Denon as well as the USB inputs definately stand out but I was thinking I could always use my XBOX 360 to stream music from my computer. Your input is definately appreciated.

Lets just say being an employee at a certain Big Box retailer alot of AVS members complain about has its advantages.
