Any opinion re Onkyo vs Denon?

I had been about ready to buy a Denon AVR-3808 (~$1600US) without any meaningful audition, but if there's a chance that I can just walk to Circuit City and buy an Onkyo for half the price and get better sound, I'm there! But the 805 may literally be more receiver than I want: ~30 kg worth! I think I'd like something a bit smaller and easier to carry, so maybe a 705 for me too?

I don't want sonics that are TOO smooth. Right now, it seems to me that even through the small speakers built into my Sharp TV, the 24/96 soundtracks are more in-your-face, and have more "bite", and I kind of like that.
