I like the look of the Oppo, but there are two things to consider: Will Oppo provide a BR Region hack (critical if you want to buy your BRDs from the UK; I don't, but the option would be nice) and, given Meridian requires players that decode the HD audio codecs internally, what will the quality of the audio be like?
