I compared these two players side by side for progressive video performance only. Out of the box the 9200 was softer and the color intensity was down. This was on my ISF'd Elite 510. What was really strange was the 9100 I owned had the same color intensity as the Sony unit! Anyway, you can increase the color intensity on the 9200 but it bothered me it was inconsistant with the 9100 and the 9000.
I chose the 9000es because once I tweaked it's progressive output it was simply sharper than the 9200. The 9200 was to soft, which may be an advantage on grainy/noisey transfers. For your set I strongly suggest the 9000es which is a real bargin right now.
