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.

I agree. Actually this is mainly why I don't have a G9x yet ...

This is one of the great benefits of the 596 or 598 with the SDI mod - 480i digital into my scaler - makes DVDs look spectacular.

Actually, I haven't seen yet someone advertising a SDI-modified G91A. I have to admit that for its kind of money this machine, or at least a G91A capable of 480/576i 4:2:2 YCbCr output over HDMI would be THE killer DVD/DVD-A spinner with respect to both video and audio.
