First, I resent you calling your post long. If that is long, I'm near banned for some of the unsupported articles I post. That said, if you are going to be getting a BR player for those critical viewings, and one main goal is reducing trips to the player, have you considered one of those Sony Mega-Changers? I think they have 300 disk DVD players. Not sure on the scaling, but that would free you from the 5 disk rotation, and let you pull from the entire library. Just a thought, and you might have to go garage shopping on the net to find one, but your situation seems perfect for that.

Otherwise, in Denon i trust. It may be expensive but you know what you are getting.
