Gonk, good point, I'd completely forgotten about the analog management in the 950. I'm leaning towards the 2900, as it has better video performance from the hometheater shootout. I'm thnking of dakmart to get a B stock unit. Price was around 650, and I don't care if it has a few dings on the outside. I wish I had more insight into B-stock quality. I also wish I would have stuck "DVD" in the title of the thread so it was more obvious what I was looking for.
