New Receivers from Yamaha

Hello all, I'm new to the board

Just visited Yamaha's website today, and found a few new updated AV receiver models, and I'm wondering if TPV will do a review on the following models anytime soon:

They all features HDMI 1.3a (1080p)
DTS-HD Master / Dolby TrueHD

RX-V1800 = 7.1 Channel 130watt/channel
RX-V3800 = RX-V1800 plus +10watt/channel, network receiver
RX-Z11 = 11.1 Channel, THX Ultra 2 w/ feature pretty much the same as the RX-V3800

I've been looking at the RX-V2700 for a long time, it has tons of features such as the network receiver that let you listens to internet radio, use your PC as your music server and etc. All I've been waiting for was the upgrade to HDMI 1.3 and DTS-HD/Dolby TrueHD Decoding. With the 3800 or Z11 I wouldn't need to make an upgrade for a long time. Well I would hope to hear what TPV has to say about these receivers before I make my purchase. As well as comparison on the updated receivers from Denon, Pioneer, and Onkyo.

Would it be cool to purchase the RX-V2700 for bi-amping with the 3800? If the 2700 price drops dramatically, they were priced about $900 last time (months ago) I checked on the internet.

My near future realistic goal for my A/V systems are as follows:
Source: PS3 for both Video games and Blu-Ray
A/V Receiver: Yamaha RX-V3800
Front Projector: JVC DLA-HD1 or Sony White Pearl
Screen: Undecided yet
Speakers: Klipsch RF-52's
