I can tell you this, buy that RP82 as fast as you can. I have been testing DVD's on my old Panny RP80 and an Apex player. The Panny RP82 is clearly the best. The progressive scan mode is a very noticable improvement over the interlaced RP80 and Apex (not even close). The RP82 prog-scan looks much better than its own interlaced mode (older movies look better as well). basicall I leave the unit in prog-mode all the time. It is definately worth the $200 IMO. BTW this is on the GWII 60".

Can confirm Dracos2's opinion, upgraded yesterday from a Panny RV65 interlaced to the Panny RP82. Though while researching and reading about the bang for your buck on the 82 you read mostly glowing reviews, even after picking it up I really didn't expect much more than a small, subtle improvement. I figured the DRC on the GW2 made up for my RV65 being interlaced only.
Had watched SWE2 the night before, and noticed a lot of blurry details in backgrounds and small movements, especially in the folds of the clothing the characters wear. Also a lack of detail in dark scenes and color I frustratingly couldn't adjust for on my 50" GW2, even after a basic Avia calibration. On the older TV, the RV65 was just fine, but the quality of the Wega made it's flaws pretty apparent across a wide range of source material in the month or so I've had the Wega.
The 82 made a big enough difference for me I had to sit through the movie and watch it again, I felt I was missing out on half the detail when I saw it the night before
I could afford to spend more on another player, but the 82 makes me feel like there's no reason to. It also makes a great interim player if you'd like to get a DVD-R or build an HTPC in the future. Hope this helps.
