"Out of curiosity, can you list what features it has over the current crop of pre/pros?"
Brian...check out the features at denon.com.
Connectibility is the biggest plus...HDMI, DVI switching, Firewire, more component inputs, PLIIX, 10 AMPS!!!! (guess that's not an issue over pre/pros), Auto setup calibration, twin multi-channel inputs...including a 10 channel input! Tuner station labeling, ethernet port, 3 sub outputs, and there is more...check out the tech notes on the site.
For me, the 5805 is a possibility, because I, too, power my speakers with outboard amps from my upgraded 5800. The 5805 allows the user to configure the 10 amps any way you choose, including bi-amping them giving you 340watts/5 channels. One box solution. I've enjoyed my 5800 for the last 4 years and it's never let me down.
This is an unbelievable piece of gear, IMO. Expensive, you betcha!
