A friend of mine needs to know which Yamaha receiver offers the best value. He's looking for at least a 6.1 with 85 watts/channel (don't know why, but that's what his current unit has, doesn't want to "downgrade" I guess).

I suggested the RX-V1400 because I'm in love with it and intend to get it quite soon.
But I'm not 100% sure it's the best value in Yamaha's receiver line?
What do you guys think?
