Hi Stephen,

IMHO I would opt for a top notch RBCD player/transport due to the fact there is too much uncertainty about the future technologies to commit such huge sums of money on a video machine that may not ever be compatible or upgradeable to HD spec - see my thread on how good is HD?

Of course this also depends on your view and collection of SD DVDs as I doubt there will be an HD player made that will compete with M on SD Discs. Pure speculation of course....
