Onkyo TX-NR515 vs Yamaha RX-V671

I jumped on Amazon's deal of the day late last week and got the Yamaha receiver without realizing that they don't offer a wireless adapter for it which is sort of a pain in the ass, I can work around it if needed. Lo and behold Newegg has the Onkyo on sale for the same price with a free wireless adapter today. Networking capabilities aside are there any other advantages to one over the other? I know the Yamaha is a bit more powerful at the same resistance.

I decided to pair it with a Polk setup if it matters any in the decision, monitor 60's for the mains, CS2 center and a PSW505.
 
Onkyos tend to expire for no good reason.

You can always just add a cheap network bridge with dd-wrt.

My plan was to bridge the wireless connection on my htpc and just plug it in that way. It's not ideal but I can live with it if the Yamaha is a better receiver.

I couldn't tell you which is a better receiver. Can you return the Yamaha without cost though?
