Help me decide nr838 or a1040

Since they are very close in specs and neither one has features that sway me one way or the other..
I had a onkyo that the hdmi board died on last year so I bought a 777bt. But now I need a receiver that has a 2nd hdmi output with separate switching. These are the 2 I like in my budget.


Thanks

The 838 uses Onkyo's new EQ (AccuEQ) and is also Atmos capable as 5.1.2 (ie. using 2 ceiling speakers) whereas the Yamaha uses YPAO and is not Atmos capable but comes with a 3 year warranty vice only 2 years with the 838.
