Denon DVD 2500BTCI Blue Ray or Denon 3930CI player

I am in need of a new DVD player but can't decide wether to purchase the DVD 2500BTCI transport or the very well acclaimed 3930CI(great price). I do have an Onkyo Pro SC885 pre/processor and can use the internal processing of it to run with the 2500BTCI transport for the new formats. I haven't gone 1080P with (HDMI)TV yet and won't be for awhile until new house/new TV next summer. I'm wondering if the transport(2500) quality is as good as the 3930CI for playing DVD's. My rep for Denon had suggested the 3930CI for the price offered but also mentioned the alternate option of the transport and use the decoding of my Onkyo SC885 pre pro but I can't utilize the transport till I go HDMI to TV. I am not too familiar with a transport set-up and would like if anyone could offer some assistance in my decision.....

Buy something cheap temporarily and then buy a great Blu-Ray player later when you have a TV with HD picture capability. You can get an Oppo for ~$180 dollars...

Heck, if you feel like spending a lot, get the top of the line Oppo for S-DVD playback (~$400). It has the best tested specifications on the market for video. Then you can get the Denon Universal player when it is released next year...
