Onkyo 605 / 606

Looking to get a new receiver to replace my Denon. Very keen on the 605, especially as there are a few deals around with the imminent arrival of the 606. My only concern is the height of the unit and getting it to fit onto my tv stand. I will need to remove a shelf and maybe need to sit my dvd on top of it (which i'm not too keen to do as i'd like to keep it's airways free). Was wondering if the 606 is likely to be the same dimensions as the 605. I've not been able to find a spec, but if it is going to be smaller then i may wait for this model. Apart from extra HDMI's, is there much difference between the 605 and the 606 ? Cheers for any info.

See this thread for specification changes.

The new model is 17.45cm tall.

Thanks for the quick response. At 17.4cm, it is the same height as the 605.

Maybe i'll just go for the 605 (saw one today at £325).
