Need a little helpful advice

I am needing some helpful advice toward upgrade. I was wondering if anyone out there could let me know if I would hear a bigger difference in a receiver upgrade to HDMI compatible or up to separates (Anthem) but non-HDMI. Already have Sharp BluRay w/True Dolby. Cannot afford the AVM50 or D2 w/HDMI, so it is either get the improvement of upgrading to non-HDMI separates (straight plug-n-play bluray to video source and component out for audio), or 100% HDMI for all True HD through receiver (Denon, Pioneer, Yamaha, Onkyo, etc). Having a baby soon, and mom and dad's money will probably not being buying too many things for us after little man arrives, at least for a little while. Thanks for any and all helpful suggestions.

Thanks for the advice Mr hosehead. Sorry if I was too vague; I figured my post was already wordy enough without going into details what receiver, speakers, bluray, etc. that I have right now. I was just looking for suggestions on which I would hear and see more improvement on within a decent budget. Thanks.

I would go with separates as it makes upgrading easier in the future.

If you are buying new I suggest get HDMI. This will be less limiting as you upgrade in the future.

Used, of course is another issue as you are enjoying the savings, or getting more for the same money. There is some great stuff available as people move into digital.
