BluRay for my Denon 2807

[dpnaugle]

I think i have it down to two choices:

Panasonic - DMP-BD50
Pioneer - BDP-05FD or BDP-51FD

I will be pairing with the Denon 2807 and Sony E55-A20 (720p/1080i)
CD audio and how upgradeable are part of the decision.

I do not plan on upgrading my receiver or TV any time soon. It will likely be the TV for a plasma when i do.

I am leaning toward the Panasonic due to price $549

Any other considerations to add?

Thx

At your pricepoint, looks like the Oppo is worth the wait. Looks like it will be out soon, but don't quote me on that.

I have the Panasonic coming in tomorrow and will be installing it for a client on Tuesday/Wednesday. Since it internally decodes, it offers a fair amount of niceness which other products lack and it makes an excellent choice at this time for a stand alone player.

Reviews of it seem to be strong as well.

I will give you my impressions after I install it, but I did choose it for the basic levels of compatibility which it seems to offer.
