I have a dilema on my hands and dont know which to buy. I am in the process of upgrading my Pioneer DV757AI as I have a nice new Samsung PS 50Q97HDX plasma and want a dvd player with great upscaling as I believe it will do a better job that that of the screens built in scaler. The 2 models I was thinking of were either the Marantz DV7001 or the Pioneer DV989. Now Price is obviously a issue and I have found the Marantz for £549 multi-region and what with Pioneer haveing a product line up change I have fornd the Pioneer for £399 multi-region, si which is the better investment? Oh the dvd player must also act as my cd player. Cheers DJ KRIME
