No Reon for me (I "only" have the Onkyo TX-SR805; that Integra is a VERY sexy beast!), though 1) the majority of my BD library is/will be 1080p (and no problems with the couple 1080is) and 2) from all reviews the BD30's deinterlacing at 1080 is pretty highly-regarded (SD upscaling etc. being a separate issue). I'm more than happy. Planet Earth on BD gave me eye boners. (NB: I only said that because my wife, after I exclaimed "this is giving me eye-boners!", said "I hope you never say that again." You're welcome, sweetie!).
Anyway, I'm still keeping my Sony 77H 1080p upcon SDDVD player for SD material, but less because the BD30 performs poorly than to preserve its mechanical integrity (the less lens-switching the better, in my poorly-informed but over-reasoned opinion).
