Peter,

Both the Denon and the Rotel are competent receivers. The 4802, with which I have a good deal of familiarity, is a step up from the 1065. More channels, bigger & better amps, cleaner sound. The 4802 has a horrible remote, the Atkis 8000. Neither of the units provide bass management on the analog inputs, so an ICBM or BM'd player is in order for hirez audio. One nice thing about the Denon is the alternate speaker setup. You can wire both dipole and direct rad side surrounds. They will be switched automatically depending on source. This is very handy for HT/hirez multi-channel.

As I said in my previous post, I really wouldn't recommend the 4802 at this time but between the two you are considering, I'd go with the Denon. Best of luck with your new setup.
