Help... know nothing.. need advice

What should I be looking for in a low budget receiver ($300)? In talking with the local dealers, I have one guy pushing the Yamaha 450-watt 6.1 channel receiver (HTR-6240) and another pushing the Onkyo 390 watt 6.1 receiver (TXSR501). Will be primarily used for movies not music. Using Bose Acoustimass-5 speaker system. I know nothing about home theatre and stumbled on this site. Any help or direction would be appreciated! Thanks.
