Hypothetical - CD or SACD Player?

I'd like to hear some of your sentiments please. In the $1000 to $2000 price range (new or used), would my money be better spent on a CD player or an SACD player? Assume that whether or not I already have the discs to play is not an issue. Also ignore the myriad factors necessary to make a fully informed data-driven decision. I've read all the reviews I could find, but now am just looking for some good old-fashioned opining. But please, only from those who have spent some serious time listening to both formats. Thanks.
