Are You Happy With 2 Channel SACD?

Fellow Audio Lovers,
For those of you who own SACD equipment "specifically, two channel" machines do you wish you had purchased a multichannel unit instead.? I am looking at purchasing possibly a Marantz SA12... however I have recieved comments from "friends" that, I should buy a multi channel unit because they say 2 channel SACD "is just plain blah... and I shouldn't bother with it unless I go the multi route.... any thoughts?

On a barely related note, I am looking to pick up a DVD/SACD player (Sony DSP-NS999ES), and I am wondering if two channel SACD is also going to necessitate analog interconnects, or if it can be processed by most pre/pro's.

Thanks, Tom.

Thanks, Ed and Rich. This is what I suspected, which is why I have ordered a pair of Cardas Neutral Reference interconnects for the main L/R, and three pairs of Quadlink 5C for the multi-channel (wanted to go all Neutral Ref, but then I have way more than the player is worth in cables!). Most of my listening will be in 2-channel, I suspect, so I wanted my cabling to be up to snuff on the 2-channel stuff.

Tom.
