I'm setting up my HT system from scratch and liked the yamaha 1400 and 2400 for the features and price. When comparing both I found only a few differences. The major features seem to be available in both the models.
The things that don't matter to me much are:
wattage diff,
# of sound programs between the two

The differences I'm concerned about are:
rs232c interface,
zone 2 out mode (svideo vs auio only),
trigger outputs - what is this anyway?,
5000 difference in capasitor capacity(?),
remote control unit (multi command vs NOT)

Do these things really matter that much. I read the reviews and the literature but am little confused as to if I'll be regretting not getting the better (?) one later. Your advice is very much appreciated.

Thanks,
