The YHT 195 also does only an HDMI pass-thru.......if the Yamaha sounded better to you, then by all means pick it up....both are competent systems, with their own limitations. If your requirements are 70% music why are you going for an HTIB.....HTIBs are terrible for music...however much you try and convince yourself otherwise....
Get a pair of Audioengine A5 powered speakers (19k), and a CA DVD89 (sub 10k..must be available for 8.5-9k), and you will have a very nice, cheap solution for music that sounds brilliant for the money, which will also do a good job with movies. You won't have 5.1, but personally i prefer quality 2.0 sound to rubbish 5.1 sound.
Seriously consider this option. The total outlay is 27 - 28k, and you'll have a great sounding system that can probably rival some more expensive setups.
