Bobm and Hank:
If all you are interested in is SQ (and no room correction or video processing), why not buy a hdmi switch and any number of previous generation pre-pro's. Anything from a 990 to a AVM-30 seem to be available for under $700. For probably around $1100, an OPPO BDP-105 might be meet your needs as well.
So I agree with H. Stevens and believe that the 975 needs to have some compelling feature besides SQ.
