If you go with an online retailer that has a good return policy, that is an option to consider.

Well, now you have a great opportunity to try something new.

I just want to know how much better these players are on video and audio performance.
That's really a subjective question and all we can do is give you the best feedback we can. It might even be worth driving to a Home Theater store in another city close to you and audition these players at the store.

But I am wondering if Denon will come out with an SACD compatible player that is built like the 1600 with Faroudja chip. That would be cheaper than the 2900 for sure.
Who knows. I _think_ they have a "DVD-3900" coming out, which is the successor to the DVD-3800. That might be a DVD-Audio/SACD player that would offer Faroudja de-interlacing among other things.

If I were you, I would wait until Christmas time and catch some year-end sales. That way, you could see what else comes out this year.

Peace...
