Onkyo VS Onkyo Integra


Is there a difference in actual quality or is it a marketing ploy as I can find deep discounts on the regular Onkyos but very little on the Integra models that seem to have the same specs.

Thanks for the responses. Although there is a separate Integra company, Onkyo still supplies the local audio/video store with something described as Onkyo/Integra. They are about $100 more list than the comparable Onkyo. I don't know about the regular Onkyos but the Integra version has a 3 year warranty. Decisions....decisions....
Thanks for the additional responses. It sounds like the Integra series probably is worth the extra bucks although from what I have read, most people like the regular Onkyo series anyway. Guess I will base my decision on how soon I think I will have to upgrade. If I plan on keeping it quite awhile I will probably spring for the more expensive version.
If anyone has an opinion on it, please see my thread asking whether it makes much difference what receiver you buy if you are only using it for the surround sound functions (and the pre-out L and R for the exisiting amps.)
