Galleybob, 
I just read a review in home theater and they said that the Sony did a poor job in room correction.  Also stated that anthem arc, audyssey and dirac are far more superior than sonys room correction.  If you are looking to save money I would look into the anthem mrx520.  You will still get anthems arc. Also this April anthem will be releasing an update to arc and this will let you use mac's os. Speaking with anthem help desk, he stated the arc will have more features and easier use. I have used anthem customer service and it is excellent.  If you have problems they walk you thru everything.  Very friendly people and my favorite is they speak English.  No offense to anyone.  
Mrx 520 is $1400 and you should at least get 10 percent off that. 5 channel amp, 100 watt at 8ohm. Good luck,  let us know what you get. 
Thanks for your responses. Since we are an Apple household with no PC's maybe I should wait for April and then decide. I have decided that I will have Atmos so with 720 I will need additional amps plus an amp for my bedroom, so 720 may not be right for me
We have both, wife is apple and I'm windows. If you go to anthem website they talk about the update or u could always call them. I went with 720 because I will do atmos within a year. Just have to buy more amps. Was going to get avm 60, but decided to save 450. 720 will do atmos if you buy amp for atmos.  If you don't want to buy amps, get the 1120. And get at least 10 percent discount.  You can use your iPhone mic to do arc, but using a laptop gives you the best room correction.  If you do a/b comparison with other receivers, make sure they do room correction.  When I setup mine I played without arc. 2 weeks later I did arc, outstanding results.  Nite and day, crystal clear. Do u have a budget,  amps, etc...?  Also anthem and paradigm are together. So matching should be great. I did listen to the paradigm 75s, nice speakers.  Keep use up to date. Dont worry anthem will update for apple users, speaking with them, they know. I heard from them the apple version will be even nicer. 
When I first started think of changing my home theater, I did consider Anthem 1120 for the 11 amps. I would have enough to run 5.1.4 and to run my bedroom speakers. It’s $3500 so I think it’s out of my budget
