I'd buy the Muse (esp. if you can spring for the Signature version). The Sony probably (just a guess) has the better video playback, but with the way video is going, after your pocketbook recovers from buying the Muse, you could buy a $250 Sony DVD player that will probably equal the 9000. The video sections in even the cheapest DVD players coming out now are getting startling good reviews. Or, you might be totally satisfied with the Muse's video output and have an all-in-one player for both purposes that is excellent. -Kirk
