Home theater/stereo - Help me decide -- longish

I'm building my first home theater in at least 10 years and would like your input on A/V receivers.
Crutchfield and B&H have the Denon AVR-X2100W "In-Command" discounted to $400 from ~$700. This is a very nice mid-level premium reciever that I was about to jump at until I realized it does not have HDCP 2.2 compliant HDMI inputs, so I started looking around - again.
I am currently pondering between Yamaha RX-V479, Yamaha RX-A550 (Aventage), and Denon AVR-S710W. The Marantz NR1506 is also under consideration.
I am thinking stopgap speakers. Energy Take Classic 5.1 or Monoprice 10565. Both have very decent reviews.
T.V. is still a big ??? I am thinking 1080P until OLED comes down in price in a couple few years. 4K doeesn't seem quite worth it yet.
1. Is there, or will there be any work around for HDCP 2.2?
2. What is the advantage to the A550 over the V479? Very similar on paper, but "Aventage" is their premium line.
3. Both Yamahas have only one HDCP 2.2 compliant input, the HDMI inputs on the Denon S710W are all HDCP 2.2. How much does this matter in a few years?
4. S710W is 7.2. I'm wired for it, but was thinking 5.2 will be enough. Am I crazy?
Barring HDCP 2.2 issue, it would be the X2100W without question, but I would like to have a somewhat future proof receiver so I can concenrate on better speakers/T.V. in the future.
