Older Anthem D2 or new Marantz?

This is for Home theater only.
Older Anthem D2 with ARC for 2500
Or
New Marantz Av 7701 for 1488?

I currently run a PS3 and a front projector with HDMI 1.3.

The older Anthem is HDMI 1.1
The Marantz is HDMI 1.4

I mostly watch Blu-Ray's\

I have an Anthem for my amp. (not that it matters, unless it does)

Thank you for your input,
Bill

I'd go with the newest marantz you can afford. get the latest technology. As an owner of a D2v I really think in the end that the processing may vary from unit to unit. But you can adjust it to your rooms needs and please your ears. The HDMI 1.4 will be needed for the BluRay 3D should you get a 3D display.
Just my opinion.
