I haven't bought a new receiver for a few years, but judging by the reviews that I read the feature count seems fairly standard. The bigger issue is sound as many have gone to Class D Amps.
If you don't mind Class D, then you have more choices. I personally do not, so I would eliminate those brands and focus on the remaining ones
