As much as I love video scales, calling one an "investment" is misguided: price compression plus the migration of features and technology to lower price units means that they don't hold their value for squat.
Regardless, consider a scaler if you have multiple video sources you'd like to manage, such as DVD, HD box, and a game system, for example.
On the audio side, that's a tough call. Maybe research/hold out for a DVD with great upconversion [i]and[/i] audio out?
