Which separates would you choose Adcom v Anthem?

Between these two, Adcom GTP 870HD/GFA 7607or 7707 vs Anthem AVM-50/MCA 50, which would you choose? Any experience? Thanks.

The AVM50 also has a broadcast scaler built in and the new AVM50v decodes the new HD surround formats. Of course, the Anthem is twice the price of the AVM50, which isn't a fair comparison.
