Anthem AVM 30 or Emotiva UMC-1

I currently own an Anthem AVM-30 which I use primarily for home theater. I have a separate two channel system. My issue is that I am tired of manually pushing the two separate 3-HDMI switches that I have for the 5 following pieces of equipment. (Sony Play Station 3, Oppo BDP-83SE, Verizon FIOS, Apple Mac Mini and D-Link Boxee). I heard that the Emotiva sells direct and was wondering if it is a myth that the $699 UMC-1 is equivalent to the $2999 AVM 30. Also, one of my primary reasons for switching is that I can do away with the two HDMI switch boxes and simply use the inputs on the UMC-1. Unfortunately, I will have to get new S/E cables or adapters instead of balanced cables. Am I missing anything important?

I find it ironic that one member said you may not get a honest answer so ask Rob who wouldnt say a bad thing about Emo if they killed his dog.
I am not going to stir up that tired arguement but just giving you a warning, a bias is a bias no matter what side it falls on.

If they have no issues in new release all will be forgiven, but if they have even 1 I think thats 1 too many given their last laughable release. So either they have learned or they havent. The great thing about the net is they cant hide from the truth...........good or bad.
Tick tock Emo....................tick tock!
