Simon -

Disagree wholeheartedly on the video capabilities of the DXR3. In my opinion, it's much superior in terms of image, to the DXR2, but that's where VGA output is concerned. Since I never ran S-video out from the DXR2, I can't say for sure either way. It most definitely WOULD be fun to experiment with the two side-by-side, though.

Where are you located? Are you in the NY Metro area? If so, maybe we can have an evaluation session, where we compare both systems, to get some concrete answers.

In the meantime, I guess it's all up to guesswork.

Keep in touch,
Rovert
