I have the Sony DAV-HDX500 and have no complaints. I only wish I had wireless rear speakers so I didn't have to jump over the cables to get to the kitchen. I just move them up near the set when I'm not watching a good movie, otherwise I just leave all 5.1 up front near the set.
I would go for a Klipsch Quintet system - while its not technically a HTIB - it’s the size of one and has the sound to back it up. You should be able to assemble a system for under $1K if you look in the right places.
As far as the cheapo HTIB packages already out there with one price tag (which you won't be doing your Bluray justice with).
I would recommend something by Yamaha - no tinny sonys for me.
I started w/Quintets and got hooked - now have a fully built Yamaha powered RF-82 setup that I love!

You have gotta give us a price range man!
