My pleasure.
In my opinion, after reading the reviews of nearly every player several times, it seems oddly slanted towards the Oppo no matter what player is reviewed.
I also felt a bit overwhelmed and at times confused with some of the reviews.
I wound up buying an upconverting dvd player by Philips for a lousy $80 bucks and $40 for a hdmi/dvi cable. This player is dramatically better than the 5 year old Pioneer it replaced and works without a glitch with my tv. I was going to buy a similar model of Sony for $129...75s I think...but what the hell I saved $50 bucks and doubt there would be that big a difference between the two for $50 difference in cost.
I think what it comes down to, if able, is to buy the unit and try it out. If you do not like it return it. I may buy the Sony and do a side by side comparison for the hell of it and return the one I do not want. BB's return policy is 30 days so I have a bit of time.
