Sweden has definitely become AOR central over the last decade. All good bands above, but you can't forget Eclipse.

So, is modern AOR just power metal rock? Cause I'm totally down with that.

Absolutely. There's a spectrum of course, but most of the bands leading the AOR pack today like H.E.A.T, Eclipse and Work Of Art are heavier than their 80's predecessors. A few more examples-

Most are probably less breakneck than power metal (no hammering drums for instance) and use more keyboards and choruses and hooks, but yeah, other than that, as Ant says, not a huge difference. Listening to Praying Mantis and these days they're AOR as hell... in a very very good way.
