Home theater receivers suggestions (Denon AVR887 vs. OnkyoTX-SR674)?

I'm building a budget home theatre, and need help finding a receiver with all the options I would like.

Right now I am torn between the Denon AVR887 and the OnkyoTX-SR674. Which one is better?

For other receiver suggestions, here are the specs I need:
•HDMI/S video capabilities
•analog to HDMI upconverting
•2 HDMI imputs
•3 RCA audio imputs/1 video
•1 component imput
•front channel A, B, A+B capability
•$300 range (yeah right!)

I'm building a 5.1 system, so it doesn't matter how many channels it has. Would like about 100W per channel.

Hope I'm not too unrealistic! (except for price)

Well the Onkyo runs about $700 and the Denon about the same. It really comes down to features and what sound you like better, both are in the same lower-mid end of A/V equipment, so good quality at resonable price.

I would also look at Pioneer Elite VSX-80TXV for the same $600 range. I use the 82TSX driving some B&W 604 S3 speakers and have been very happy the sound quailty, much more smooth and natural in my book compared to Onkyo or Denon. Onkyo's better line, Integra is a better comparison to the Pioneer Elite. You generally get a better quality power supply and better internals as well as features.
