I don't know enough about the Sony to say either way. My usual suggestion, is to buy the most for what you have, keeping with your goals. Looking to upgrade later is always good, but try not to sacrifice too much quality in the process.

I didn't understand what you meant by "a few of the 7.1 only decoders won't be available". The PS3 is the decoder, right?

Also, if the receiver is 7.1, but I'm only using 5.1, does the receiver recognize that those two speaker terminals aren't being used and send that sound to the other speakers ... like the normal downmix to 5.1?
