Some months ago the Soundstage was being blown out at $1500 new by Mondail on UBID. It's supposed to be an excellent Pre/Pro with one of the best 2 channel amp sections of any pre/pro.

I wish I got in on that deal - it's definitely a no-brainer for $1500 - its MSRP was $4000.

As for DLP2? So far I've been undewhelmed with it and would take the audiophile 2 channel performance of the Soundstage over the newer formats in a heartbeat. It's supposed to be quite an amazing performer in DD and DTS as well.
