Looking at the price tag of both is enough of a review for me. I was in an electronics shop watching Saving Private Ryan on a Mits RPTV on DVD and the salesamn said that down the road this is going to be the worst picture people watch. When you think about it he's right. When HDTV comes out and everyone's watching 1080i; a 480i DVD image, and even a 480p image won't compare to a 1080i. So if I were you; I wouldn't invest anymore than a thousand dollars on a DVD player. The 9100 has gotten great reviews and I just don't think anyone can make a DVD player worth $1,500-$2k(unless it's DVD-RW ;)
