I ended up selecting the cheapest one, the Toshiba 3960 (actually the 3860 in Canada) for a mere $80. I'm quite happy with it as it does all of the above. But it is definitely a cheap unit. It weighs what seems like about half a pound and when I push in the component cables the back plate pushes in a bit. I just wonder how long it will last (3 months so far).
Paul....apparently Toshiba changed the chip in that player after the test/review. The newer units do not perform nearly as well. You can research it on AVS.
