Please consider a model that has high end video processing such as the Silicon Optix Realta / Reon or a comparable Gennum chipset. DCDI is growing really long in the tooth and while it's OK for 480i deinterlacing, it's really been eclipsed by the Gennums and Silicon Optix chips.

There aren't a lot of companies offering this sort of functionality in pre-processors, and it really improves the home theater experience for those of us with HD displays.

The only real competition in this space is from items like the much more expensive and also aging Anthem D2 - a more reasonably priced alternative with Outlaw factory direct pricing could really get the attention of a whole new audience for the 990's successor.
