I would not get either one that you mention.

The best player out is one of the new Denon’s, but they are mighty proud of them. The next best option is the Panasonic BD 50, but they are not out yet and I’d wait to hear what users have to say about them. Panasonic is having trouble with the LFE track on PCM audio. I’d wait to see if the 50 has the same issue.
