Sony DVD 7700 or Sony 9000es?

Alex,

I'm assuming this going to be in an audio/video system... I have a 7700, (I upgraded from the 7000).
My monitor is a 4 year old Proton, without progressive scan or component video input. The 7700 looks great S/VHS into my Proton.
Now my local dealer is selling their demo 9000es. Do I buy
it, anticipating a better (HDTV) monitor soon? I haven't decided, but I like the 7700 so much, I won't sell it. I'll
put it in a second video system if need be..

P.S. my dealer replaced their 9000es with a just out progressive scan Toshiba ($300.00 retail!) that has a picture 95% as good as the 9000es...
But it's sure not built like the top Sonys.

I'm an audiophile first, my 2 channel system gets priority, components get upgraded & some old ones get sent to my A/V system.

Plato,

My latest "Ultimate Electronics" flyer says the 9000ES is Stereo SACD. There is a new model DVD/SACD player, the DVPNS900V, it retails for $999.95 & includes multi channel SACD.
