I am not sure what you mean by better. As compared with what?

FWIW, per the announcement of the 998 delay and the 978
Quote:
The Model 978 will include five “fast switching” HDMI inputs along with two HDMI outputs, and it will be fully compliant with Version 1.4a offering 3D compatability and the Audio Return Channel.

Our video processing and scaling will be from Anchor Bay, using the chip sets found on many high-end Blu-ray players and AVRs.


I have never seen an exact statement of exactly what chip set Outlaw will be using. Anchor Bay was acquired last year by Silicon Images which now licenses its IP property so its possible that equivalent functionality could be imbedded into some customized chip.
