“No, I think the only thing we can say for sure is these things need to be judged on a case by case basis.”

I certainly agree, and I think this is the take home message of this topic. I intend to keep listening and will make any change only after considerable listening.
One thing I will add after listening more hours now, is that the Pioneer excels at reproducing speech very clearly. Considering that the majority of TV programming consists of dialog, clear speech reproduction is a welcome asset, especially when you get up there in age, as my husband and I are now. Of course music is background to almost everything and for that sort of the usual TV programming, the Pioneer suits. My issue is when I want to play music DVDs or listen to Live From The Met or Great Performances, or rent movies with great soundtracks, I will want something that reproduced music exceptionally. That’ll take considerably more listening time.
i have to also admit that doing without remote control Capability in the Pioneer is a big disadvantage and that may influence any change too.
