Thanks Jed!

I still need/want to run through some DD/DTS stuff to see if one of these guys is "broke" or just clearly better than the other.

From what I've heard so far I can say this:

If you've got a 950 and don't have the funds to upgrade yet, don't sweat it, we're talking about a few % here of improvement.

If you're on the fence regarding the 950 and 990, I'd recommend the 990. I prefer it's sound to the 950 (at least in digital 2ch mode) and it's another great value from Outlaw.
