Thats the only way to find out for sure is to do comparisons on your own. Everyone's eyes and ears are different. What sounds great to one, may sound like horse crap to another....so get out there and test-drive.

It is 100 watts per ch, and it brings life to music. Believe me, you will be happy to have spent only $100 more for it. It is wide current and discreet design giving pretty smooth sound mimicking the sound of an upscale piece. http://www.bndonline.com/adnet1/ontxju2bnehi.html http://www.audioreview.com/PRD_118697_1593crx.aspx

I really don't want to spend an extra $150 for a receiver with features I don't need: the 8511 has 2 video inputs that I don't need and will never use. Do you think I should find a different receiver?

I really think you will be happier with the 8511 - it just sounds more involving and lively than 8211. I can't think of a better receiver for that amount, unless you buy used at www.audiogon.com If you want to go that route, a NAD or a parasound is a good one to hunt down.
