Well the XA2 is unfortuatly way too much to spend on a dead tech. I can get the A30 for $173 for 1080p24 output though. Should I spend the dough on it? And is 24hz a big enough deal to upgrade over(I know the i and p don't really matter)?

Personally, I don't think so.
I have gotten the best experience by setting my HD DVD and BD players to 1080i and having the Reon in my Integra DTC-9.8 do the deinterlacing.
Think about it. Not every HD movie is 1080p24 - many are 1080p30 or 1080i60 - like Nine Inch Nails for instance. If you have your player set to 1080p24 it will stutter on these movies.
I would save the money and put it towards a receiver/processor with a Reon chip which would improve the quality of all of your sources instead.
