My earlier Sonos soundbar lacks an HDMI input, which is totally ridiculous. The only way to get a signal from the TV into the Sonos was via optical, which would be fine, except my tv at the time, like many, would only output stereo over the optical! I had to go through all sorts of nonsense with an HDMI deimbedder/adapter to get it to work, all because of their idiotic design decision. This was complained about for years, so I guess they finally decided to fix it in the new model.
I can see why you are delighted with the current setup.

Part of the problem is the evolution of HDMI and its capabilities over the years.... and compatibility among the various HDMI devices on the market for the various HDMI enhancements over time.I am hardly an expert but I did some reading on HDMI and read some soundbar reviews prior to buying the Sonos ARC. If soundbars are the "easy button" of surround sound, the ARC is the "easy button" of soundbars.
The Sonos ARC lacks multiple inputs and sophisticated manual EQ adjustment but setup and basic functionality appear to be rock solid reliable compared to some others I've read about. Speech and bass are clear and the overall sound is excellent. It's a set and forget soundbar - and the TruPlay iPhone App from Sonos does a good job of automating surround tuning during initial setup.
I wanted simple and reliable with excellent sound (for a soundbar anyway) and I'm happy with the Sonos ARC + Sub.

Sonos is perfect for its intended purpose. Beautiful design, intuitive software, dead simple to setup and use, no glitches, no hassles (except for the HDMI input in the earlier model).
If only Bluesound could hire Sonos' software designers!!
