Slab is going down in two weeks and frame will commence shortly after and its time to pre wire and work out what Home Theatre System I will get. The Aussie Dollar is high so most goods should be cheaper than a few months ago. My dilemma and where I need your help is whether or not to go and get a “package” from the big boys, or rather purchase the parts online or on special at various shops and have somebody help me install it. Budget is $8000 max and I have chosen these two separate packages to compare as they will move in price

Which of these two packages would you get if you had to get one of them?
Would you rather send me a PM with what you could do for me for $8,000?
Or
What would you do?
Both systems are similar, both are 5.1 systems, I still think that the two guys are making way too much on top and jacking prices up. Considering the Projector and Receiver total $4300 at most, this leaves another $4600 for speakers and install, I think its high. House location is Lara, 40 minutes south of Melbourne. Home theatre room is 3600 x 5400. House will be available prior to plaster going up.
Thanks all.
