Buy the one on the bottom. All the buttons and dials are proportionally sized (most of them the same!) and they are all neatly organized, like little soldiers all in a row, and it is a foxacious black with a nifty blue edge on that dial to the right. It will be as functionally correct inside as it is outside.
The one on top is clearly the product of a disorganized mind. The dials are all differing sizes, like they tried to use up spare parts, and they're just all over the place. It's also silver. Reminds me of a guy I dated once. He had a Corvette and a stereo that was silver, and not much else that did any good.
Yup, you want the black one.

Onkyo, definitely. They are very solidly built and have an excellent reputation among the cognoscenti (one of which I am not) and you are not paying for the Yahaha name. I have an Onkyo tuner, TX-SR501, and it has a real heft due to the shielding and the heavy duty power supply. It is my understanding that the Onkyo is good enough to use as a core for an extensive system but it suits my purposes as it stands. It ain't "feature rich", but as far as I am concerned the features it lacks are just more dials and lights to amuse the simple. I bought mine a couple of years ago and could find nothing close to it for the price. Caveat: I am not an audio/technophile - I just did quite a bit of shopping before going for the Onkyo.
Also, the classic black finish is subtle yet impressive - it bespeaks someone for whom the sound of a sound system is the heart of its value.
IMHO, YMMV, etc., etc., etc.

My first thought (not knowing anything much about such things) was to buy the shiney one! Is this a female thing... this sort of reply based on soley on visual review? Mmmmmm.....
(BTW, good luck on the future purchase there Amar.)

Fine (if movies are your thing), but I still say skip the rice amps and buy yerself a McIntosh Solid State, if you insist on having all that digital malarkey
