If you fed your HD-A2's 1080i output into a Reon chipset for deinterlacing, such as the one in the Onkyo 875/905 & Integra DTC-9.8, it is likely it would be the best quality out of all your sources. I can tell you straight up that for SD sources the DTC-9.8's Reon is much better than my Sony HDTV and A35's builtin deinterlacers.

Actually the Oppo is set to 1080i as well. Looking on the DVD Benchmark tests, I see the only video test the A1 failed was 'bad edit', which to them caused the combing artifact in The Big Lebowski DVD menu, that could account for what I'm seeing. Still it's weird I never saw this artifact on the Sony, or the CRT projector(and with the CRT it was the HD-DVD player purely doing the processing).
So yeah, until the XA3 which uses the Reon chipset comes along, I'll have to use the PS3 as the upscaler.
