In addition to its upscaling function, it would be relatively future
proof with respect to processing formats that may be used on future
video (or audio) discs (though not including multi-channel SACD). Plus
being able to process HD video on HD DVDs. Although costing more than
the A2, I understand that the A35 is now available for less than $400
online, including several free discs, and close to that at BB or CC. -
I'm not stuck on this particular model, and others with similar
capabilities are expected to be introduced next year, but it seems to be
one that would have the capabilities you want, plus some you don't want
now but may want later.

To put things into the high-end prospective, that $400 that buys you the
Toshiba A35 won't get you a pair if high-end interconnects.

I have a Toshiba A20 and an A2, and I love their audio and video
quality. Anyone who has a HDTV and does not get a high def. optical
player is simply foolish, IMHO.
