Time to upgrade Sony DVP-S7000 ??

I have a Sony DVP-S7000 and I was thinking it
might be time to upgrade. As I recall it doesn't
have the Chroma bug and it was my first DVD player
so I'm concerned about any upgrade that has the bug.
I've never seen this bug before since I always used
the S7000.

Here are the models I was considering:

Yamaha CX-1 (Has Faroudja)
Yamaha DVD-C950 (Has Faroudja, not out yet)
Pioneer DV-47ai (Has Chroma bug so maybe not)
Sony DVP-NS999ES
Sony DVP-S9000ES

I also don't want long pauses when a movie switches
layers and I have read that the Pioneer is terrible
in this regard.

How would you rank these for overall video quality?

Many Thanks!
Tom

I have a DVP-S7000 and recently purchased a DVP-NS999ES. I am very happy with the 999. The video quality is very good. My 7000 isn't reading some dual layer discs very well, so I made the switch. The 999 does not have the chroma bug, contrary to some sources. I am not familiar with the other players you listed. You can find either of the Sony's at good prices now.

Thanks Riversideone..

Was the picture quality a noticable set up with
the DVP-NS999ES? My DVP-S7000 works great but I
was wondering if a newer model would give me better picture quality. I am using a Sony 36" XBR TV but
the TV does not do progressive scan.

In what areas did you notice the DVP-NS999ES being
better than the DVP-S7000?

Thanks
Tom
