It's not that expensive, really? And I LOVE hooking up home theater equipment. Just invite me over and I'll do it.
By the way, here's my setup:

Very nice, dude. I have the KS8000 now and love it now that I've finally got the picture configured the way I want it, but still stuck with the TV speakers for now until I find a decent/functioning soundbar. I was going to invest in the Bose Soundtouch 300 but have seen all over the net that there's some pretty significant software compatibility issues between the soundtouch and the Samsung KS TVs. I also have a PS4 Pro hooked up to mine.

My dad just bought this monstruous 70" 4k TV for his bedroom that he hasn't hooked up yet. I think it's kind of excessive

Do you like your PS4 Pro? I'm debating with myself if it is worth the upgrade.

I can't say that I'm a huge gamer, maybe an hour or two a week if I'm lucky anymore, but I can definitely tell a bit of a performance upgrade in graphical output and frame rate. I've mainly playing the new Tomb Raider game which looks fantastic. I've heard Uncharted 4 looks even better in UHD but I had already beat it on the old PS4 (that game is worth playing again though so I probably will). In all honesty, if you're not a huge gamer it's probably not critical that you upgrade right now. I got a great trade-in deal on Amazon and had some spare cash at Xmas so I said fuck it and upgraded (got a good black friday deal on the Pro, too). I mainly wanted to future proof my machine in anticipation of the new Red Dead and Last of Us. Having the ability to stream 4K content on Netflix is pretty sweet too. I'm still absolutely dumbfounded that they didn't incorporate a 4k player though. I know it would have increased production costs, but by and large I think the PS fanbase would have still paid the difference.

Yeah, the lack of a 4K BD player is baffling, and is the only reason I didn't buy one. I bought the Xbox One S instead and I hate it.

I bought a new 4K player, and at first, while it was certainly an improvement in the lag, it was still present, even though it was slight. Thankfully, this player has a separate HDMI out for audio, so I hooked that up directly to my soundbar, bypassing the TV ARC. Now everything syncs up perfectly.
