AVR - Video Processing Chip?

I am wondering how important is it for a video chip in a AVR if you already have a good video chip in your DVD/Blue Ray player. I am comparing Anchor Bay Technology in the new DENON AVR-4310ci (supposely will be release in May 2009) to a Integra DTR-8.9 which uses the Reon-Realta chip? I currently been using a DVD-3930ci matched up with a Pioneer Elite PRo111FD - speakers are Klipch RF-63, very sensitive, so wattage is not an issue here. I do not have a blue ray player and is watching them closely and debating what to end up with. I guess it all depends on the AVR. So, please help with this issue and your response would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

The main advantage to having a good video processor in your avr is upconverting your sat/cable tv signals to 1080P. If that is not a major concern of yours the the DVD/BD players processor would be fine whether the ABT or Reon/Realta.

By the way, I have a pair of RF-63's that I bought here on Audiogon for $1000.00 and could not be happier with my choice.
