Just got the Toshiba SD-6200 dual tray model earlier this week and couldn't be happier. I picked it up online for just under $500, which I thought was a great deal.

I recommend the SD-6200. The 5109 had two sets of component outputs one for interlace and one for progressive, the 6200 has one set which is controls interlaced/progressive via a button on the remote. Excellent for comparing the two formats and the clear superiorty of progressive scan. It also has advanced Super 4:4:4 Processing which is a step up from the 5109 (I believe)

Sony DVD player
Heard a rumor that there was going to be a $700 or so Sony Progressive Scan player out soon. Something along the lines of the ES minus SACD. If anyone knows anything on this please let us know. Right now I'd probably go with the Toshiba.

I forget the model number, but denon showed their new progressive scan dvd player, and it is going to be MSRP $800. It uses the same chip as the $800 enternal line doubler now. This was the buzz of the CES show in January, I think it is supposed to be on the market this summer. Supposedly the best for the money yet! Sorry that I don't have more information on it. Try contacting denon, or go to your local denon dealer to see if they have literature on it yet.

In that price range make sure the player has 3:2 pulldown. Otherwise you're just buying a crappy line doubler. The best player I've seen in this range in the Pioneer Elite DV-37. It retails for over a grand but can be purchased for under $700.
The Harman Kardon DVD-50 comes to mind too, except I think it's jsut a line doubler, but it's a 5 disk carousel and has MP3 CD capability if that's something you're interested in check it out. You can get that one for Under $600.
Also Denon makes a 3:2 pulldown player, tough to get good discounts on Denon though.
