Audio Processor Advice -- Can I do without HD Audio?

Moving on here and about to purchase some new equipment.

I get a new flat screen TV. I get a Blue-ray player (although DVD seem to me quite adequate for the 42-46 inch screen size I am contemplating.

Connections:
DVD Player: S-Video to TV, Toslink to Dolby-EX receiver.
Blu-Ray: HDMI to TV, Toslink to Dolby-EX receiver.
TV Audio: Toslink to Dolby-EX receiver.

Of course, once I have the Blu-ray player, the DVD player is unecessary.
I am also counting on Blu-ray to provide Dolby digital outputs (not sure what standard receiver is on, but seems to have everything except HDMI).

Transition path seems good to me. So, why are all these 7.1 home theater receivers being dumped??

(The next question is going to be another good one for me. When I upgrade to HD Audio, do I then throw away all that Toslink stuff that I have invested in??)
