Bouth are capable of 1080P upscaling - which one would produce better picture for SD DVD - I still have over 2000 of them in my collection. Display is going to be Panasonic AE1000U.

I've been pleased with my 981, but the XA2 has gotten fine reviews for its SD-DVD playback. I've not seen it myself.

Do you have any PAL or non-region 1 discs? None of the HD-DVD units will play those. If you use burned media, I would research the XA2 support for them carefully.
