TBH, I like the idea of CEC, and sending all control signals digitally instead of via IR blasters for half of it. My system has this lovely fluke where 1 out of every 500-1000 volume change requests causes the system to ramp up the volume continuously until the speakers are blaring at ungodly volume levels and I'm running to my laundry room to reach up and turn off the power to the receiver before having to go upstairs to put my kids back to bed after they've been scared awake

So yeah, I'd love to send volume control signals digitally for sure!
