Best AV Receiver around $500

I have a Denon AVR-1800 that has been very good to me for the last 10 years or so. I'm looking for something that supports 2 zones and HDMI. I know most receivers nowadays handle both of these, but I haven't researched much in quite a while. What are your recommendations? I'm looking at the following potentials, but am open to others:
Yamaha RX-V675
Onkyo TX-NR727
Denon AVR-E400
I have Directv, XBone, (maybe PS4 in the near future), Samsung TV, all JBL Studio Series Fronts (floor standing L & R, center, sub) with (don't judge) Bose rears. Wireless/bluetooth would make streaming from my phone easy. Also looking at maybe building a HTPC.
Thanks in advance.

Denon AVR-X100W
I'm not a big fan of Yamaha and Onkyo has had just enough issues with their receivers in the last few years for me to shy away from them. Not that you can't get a lemon from any manufacturer but Denon has been bullet proof for me.

Check out Accessories 4 Less. Refurbished units. I bought my Denon receiver and Yamaha outdoor speakers from there.

Denon or Yamaha

I'm a fan of the Yamaha. I'm running a Yamaha Aventage A-820 which is similar in features to the 675.

I would go with a refurb Denon with at least the Audyssey MultiEQ XT.
Find the first one that suits
Maybe this one? Marantz SR5008
