It's hard telling if it will work with the Z2, seeing how it’s DVI and DVI has known compatibility issues with many new HD devices. You might want to ask at AVS. There is an "official" thread for this machine on the BR player forum. I suspect with the amount of posts to this thread that someone will be able to tell you.
One thing to consider if you do buy this machine is it WILL NOT decode the new formats and output as analogue. It is limited to Bitstream output via HDMI only. So unless you have an audio processor that processes the bitstream formats via HDMI 1.3, you will be disappointed.
I bought mine from Value Electronics for $425. It really has been an excellent player so far. I’ve not had ONE quirk or problem and have played over twenty BR movies through it. I also know that it has the hardware on board to enable it to be upgraded to profile 1.2. Not so sure about 2.0, but 2.0 don’t add anything I’m interested in….
