AS per the Denon being equal to the Panasonic, well good. At least people who buy it will have outsides of an XA2 & the insides of a BD30. Not a bad combo imo.
You have to factor in, though, even if the very very rare occasion that the tray on the BD30 breaks out of warranty you'd be able to buy a brand new BD50 by then and still have paid less than you would have for the Denon. If the Denon was $100-$200 more, maybe it would be worth it for better build. But double the price is a ripoff IMO, you are just paying for look and name.
