The Harry Potter issue on the 1050 is
not present on the 950 -- the 1050 uses a proprietary system for handling Dolby EX soundtracks, whereas the 950 includes true Dolby EX.
The 950 should be able to serve you well for quite a time to come. Additionally, if you decided to upgrade in a few years, you could replace the 950 and keep the 7100, as nullptr points out. With an average DVD player, you should continue to use the digital audio output and I would expect an improvement in sound.
