When you say Sony you mean the ES series, right? I can't believe you are saying it too, and I can't believe we would consider it, but why not. How are you purchasing, direct or through control4? How is the remote access and settings compared to integra? Do you think they have less HDMI issues than integra? I know this is part personal preference, but it's always good to hear something is solid. We obviously want to use equipment that we don't need to service all the time. That goes without saying.
