Do you all think this is a good option with my setup? I'm thinking the tone mapping may give me a slighlty better picture on my older projector.

Sony was a key developer of the 4K technology and released some of the first Ultra HD Blu-ray players. You won't get any improvement in the performance with the more expensive Panasonic player.

I do not know if you will get an improvement. But, I have owned a Panasonic 9000 for nearly two years. It is a fantastic player!
The video and audio quality are top notch, and the build quality is awesome. It is worth every penny.

I previously had a Sony UBP 700; and the Panasonic is a better player.

Better reliability and consistency?

Or better 4K picture quality or Dolby Atmos sound quallity?

Well, I have one of each in the rack. Actually I have the DP-UB9000. The only difference is the DAC, due to a factory fire, but their performance is identical.

If anything I think the Sony is the slightly better player, it is certainly no worse and it plays SACDs.

I will say that during the first years the Panasonic was glitchy, but improved with software updates.

Panasonic customer support is non existent. A year or more ago it would not turn on and stay on. I found via the Internet there was a software update they did not inform customers about. I found via the NET they was a way to force the software update, and download it. That has solved the problem and it has been the best since I have owned it, since that happened.

Be aware that Panasonic have no service centers which is bad.

Personally I would not buy the Panasonic, it will perform no better than the Sony, which has been an excellent player. It is cheaper, but if pushed I would give the very slight edge to the Sony.

Because in your experience, the Sony is less glitchy and more consistent/reliable than the Panasonic?
