Jerry - We are definitely on the same camp, I have two young daughters, and I don't remember (don't want to) how many times I've bought the bloddy Nemo, Cinderella... I will probably stay with one zone though.

The K is definitley my number one choice, unless M is working on a similar solution, in which case I would prefer it based on we've already put in a lot of money into an all digital system and would like to keep it that way. Your HD point is exactly why I haven't made the jump yet, though all my DVDs are std at the moment, I am sure as the catalog expands I will find a compeling reason to upgrade.

For the moment I just finished putting in all my music (except classical/jazz) into a 500GB HD I bought at Costco for little more than $200 and will either buy a MacMini or a SB3/Transporter for music. I understand the Transport comes with 2 SB3s (not sure if it was an offer when the T first came out) that would work great for music on 2 additional zones. I will talk to my local K dealer to learn more about the HD issue.
