One more clarification, if you use subwoofers for music listening (as I do, and, apparently, as the OP does), digital bass management can be extraordinarily satisfying. Obviously, this idea won't appeal to the traditionalists out there, but after trying both approaches (I switched from ARC and Joule preamps to my Onkyo pre-pro) I'm a convert to Audyssey.
Again, YMMV.
