Ian:

That doesn't surprise me. You can implement the same algorithms and/or the same chip in the two products.

But keep in mind that there's been (IMO) significant improvements since the deinterlacer/scaler in the G9x players were released.

I know personally I have the G91 output 480p over HDMI and then "let" the Gennum chip in the VP11S1 do the scaling. That is the most pleasing result. So I expect that the scaling in the 1080MF scaler will be superior to the scaling in the G9x players.
