I've narrowed it down but...

I've narrowed my choice for my first AVR to these, and I can still buy them new within my price range.
Yamaha RX-A740
Denon AVR-X2100
Marantz NR1605

They all have wi-fi and a reputation for good sound.
My front three speakers are 87db 6ohm speakers, and I may not use rears because of space in our townhome. I'm interested in having a center channel to hear dialogue more clearly, instead of an integrated amp because of my age. They all have more than enough features for me, including room correction, and sound quality is very important.

50 watts is pretty low in this day and age of AVR's.  The dynamics are fairly high in theater and that may not cut it for a movie.  87db isn't so efficient.  Also, watch the impedance with the Yamaha.  They don't like less than 8 ohms.
Is wifi that necessary?  You can get it through your blueray player for a lot less money.
