What it sounds like is the most important.
Does it power your speakers adequately? Have the right features for your listening and AV habits. Do you plan on making any changes in the near future? Use the 30 days to ponder these things and let it run 24/7 for those 4 weeks with a signal going through it. If it is going to fail it will most likely be sooner rather than later, plus you get one yr warranty.
I cannot speak for its value. I am partial to Pioneer Elite or Sony ES when it comes to Receivers and AVR's.
