Sony S7700, S7000, or ??? best low cost transport?

HI all,
I've seen some threads on this, and even recently, but was unable to find the specific one I was looking for in the archives.
Sooooo....one and for all now..... :-) Your opinions please... on which of these (the Sony S7000 or the s7700) makes for the best CD transport value for the dollar, and why?
Also, if there is another unit that is as good or better then these, as a CD transport, please tell me which one that is that you recommend?
Thanks and happy listening!
John

Reubent - you just didn't select the right modder. The Sonys make superb transports: 7000, 7700 and 9000es. I prefer the simplicity, low power usage and size of the 7700. Mods focused on the digital output electronics by an experienced digital design engineer make a world of difference. See these posts:

The Pioneer DV-47A or Ai are both good DVD players that make excellent transports. Recommend a superclock inside though.
