sorry if this is not the best forum but i couldn't really find one to fit it into...

i'm narrowed down to 2 home theater systems, one is $400 and the other is $500... the $500 is a little better (i think) but i want to know if it's $100 better (25% price increase)

Kenwood HTB-505

another look, bestbuy.com

$400
600 watts
5 speakers + sub
-2 front speakers - 100w each
---2 x 4" mid range and 1 x 1" tweeters
-1 center channel - 100w
---2 x 4" mid range and 1 x 1" tweeter
-2 surrounds - 100w each
---1 x 4" mid range and 1 x 1" tweeters
-1 8" sub - 100w

Onkyo HTS 650

another look, circuitcity.com

$500
650 watts
5 speakers + sub
-2 front speakers - 100w each
---2 x 5 1/4" mid range and 1 x 1" tweeters
-1 center channel - 100w
---2 x 4" mid range and 1 x 1" tweeter
-2 surrounds - 100w each
---1 x 4" mid range and 1 x 1" tweeters
-1 8" sub - 150w

the Onkyo has slightly larger front speakers and more power to the bass, and i bet it's a little better quality in build, sound, ect all around...

so which would you guys buy?
