Anthem STR intergrated amp - Anyone?

[veeceem]

So I was about to purchase a NAD M22 v2 (power amp only) for $2600 then this Anthem STR intergrated amp (brand new) shows up for the exact same price $2600 (shipping/tax included)
It meets most of my needs atm:
1/ Room Correction (ARC)
2/ A power amp
3/ A preamp

I wonder how well it measures compare to NAD M22 ? Or its measurements are good enough and it won't matter?
Below is link to measurements of both:

I'm also interested in the STR Integrated, so I'm wondering what you ended up doing. I'd like to possibly simplify my A/V system, in which I'm currently using a DAC/pre-amp and separate power amp. Does anybody have any experience with or data on the STR Integrated? Thanks much.

I'm using the STR preamp with NAD M22 v2 / McIntosh Mc462 / Pass XA25. The preamp drives them superb, especially with ARC on (room correction software)
I've never heard the integrated, but according to measurements and specs, it should meet most requirements.
