IMO both there will not be much difference in the 2 units as far as sound quality goes..So look at the features of the 2 and also look at the one with the least amout of problems..The 7200 will have more power with all chs driven.It wil also have BM for SACD and DVDa.The 7200 also lets you select different xover points for FRT/C/Surround.This unit also has Logic 7.Not real sure but the only feature the Denon has over the 7200 would be video up conversion.. ALot of HT and audio forums the HK seems to have alot of QC problems..I think onecall.com has the 7200 for less than $800..Hope this helps good luck..
