My question is...could someone list 2/3 receivers that have the capability BIslander is referring to in the 2nd quote, in the $1000 - $1500 range? Or is this question moot with receivers in that price range?

If your receiver can decode the HD formats, then bitstream is a fine way to go. However, if you have a 7.1 system, you need to make sure it can decode and apply a DSP such as PLIIx at the same time. Some AVRs cannot do that.
Conversely, some 7.1 AVRs cannot handle 7.1 PCM over HDMI. So, you need to know the specific capabilities of your equiupment.
