Go with the Denon 5900 or the 9000 --- all the Denon's that use the Silicon Image 504 chip for progressive scan are first rate --- both used prices are withing your range and both are great machines - top notch.
Personally, I've never bought a DVD Player THAT expensive before.
But now, if I were to buy one today, then I would be taking a close look at these three (and not in ANY particular order either. I wouldn't be disappointed with any of them).
