If you're a Yamaha fan this is the sweet spot, since the majority of people don't use more than 9 channels or support more than 11 properly.
Kinda empathize with you on the cyclops aesthetics, my annoyance with Marantz porthole aesthetics.
More info below if interested in lots of other data . Some of it I found useful while others were too far in depth for what my ears can notice .

Both 3 & 4 can process 11 channels, has preouts, all 11 have independent preamp mode, better/premium RC included, option for another premium RC in Dirac and 4 independent sub outs vs 2 parallel/mono ones.
If you use or plan to use an external amp and not all your speakers are full range/reference.
Unlikely you would hear a difference between the 3 vs 4 in my experience.
For 99% of people, this won't be an issue. However, if you have a dedicated home theater w/speakers > 20 ft away and/or working w/low impedance speakers during a transient 95dB+ scene, then it's not going to sound nice due to power limiting (a nominal 4 ohm speaker 20 ft away needs at least 74W)!
The lack of attractive room correction and power limiting may be why this Yamaha is getting decent discounting.
