Last night I saw Electronics Expo (through Amazon) is selling the VSX-LX505 for $1499.00.
I went ahead and bought one so unless I overthink this to infinity and beyond I am no longer in the market.
The page says there are 3 left as of 0740 2022/12/31
Thanks again for responding to my question.
Don’t overthink it… it’s a great piece of equipment. It sounds like you’ve done your homework, so no need to rehash all of the technologies packed into the 505, but it’s loaded up! Outside of some sort of independent processor, I don’t see Pioneer releasing anything that will make you regret buying it. AND, if they do, you can sell what you have at a minimal loss and try something else ;-)
We're witnessing a bit of a brand separation between Integra and the Onkyo/Pioneer gear. They worked their tails off to get the 8.4 to market, as we see it. Literally, a 3 year grind of pulling all of the pieces together. It will be interesting to see what comes next and how differentiated it is from Integra's CI-friendly flagship.
