I am in the debate currently myself. I want SACD support as well as need DVD Audio support. I am debating between the Pioneer Elite 45A ($318) or 47Ai ($635). But I have heard in this forum as well as others that the Pioneers have video performance that is not quite up to snuff. So I am thinking of getting the Denon 1600 ($250) for video as well as the 45A for high res music. This duo would still be cheaper than the 47A. But is the difference in picture between the 1600 and 47Ai worth having 2 different players? The Denon 2900 is not really an option because the cheapest I have found it is at Goodguys for ($900). This price is with tax and shipping included, though. But still way too much. So I guess the debate is between:
Pioneer 45A ($318)
Denon 1600 and Pioneer 45A ($568)
Pioneer 47Ai ($635)
Denon 2900 ($900)

I am really curious whether I will notice a difference in video on my RCA 38" HDTV. Not the best unit, but it is HD. I also know I will buy another player at some point down the line so upgradeability is not a must. Just what woulb be good for the next year or two.
