^^ That's the rub. Those receivers get great reviews when they work ok, but there does seem to be an awful lot of people with problems. Unfortunately there's no way to tell what proportion this might be.
Visited Richer Sounds in Holborn this lunchtime, where the salesman couldn't have been much less use even though it wasn't busy. Had no interest in my questions about the 515/616 because they were 'discontinued', despite them still being for sale on their website. Also claimed he had absolutely no knowledge of issues causing people's HDMI connection to fail after waking the receiver from standby. Simply googling 'Onkyo 515 HDMI issues' and reading the results means I don't believe him. He was also very obtuse about my options if I did buy one and wasn't happy with it.
Might try Superfi in Camden over the weekend and see if they're any more use.
