I don't really want to spend close to $400 for the RP91 when I'm already very happy with the video performance of my Sony DVP-NS715P. However, I have a good number of non-anamorphic widescreen and older 1.37:1 DVDs that I still like to watch. The expand mode on my TV is nice, but the problem with that is that it crops the incoming signal which often results in chopped up subtitles. Subtitles are very important to me so I want a player that can do the cropping for me that will still display the subtitles properly.

Thanks for the info on the Toshibas, tomdkat. I'm gonna check out the SD-4800. I can get that locally for under $200. That's more to my liking than spending close to $400. This doesn't need to be my primary player. I just want something that will better display non-anamorphic widescreen material with subtitles intact. If I'm not happy with the Toshiba I might check out the Panasonic.
