Sony DVP S9000 ES vs. Sony DVP NS900V

Does anyone have experience with the new NS900V in comparison to the 9000ES? The NS900V does more things, but does it do them as well as the 9000ES?

I am currently interested in two-channel playback of SACD, but would also like a good transport for all disc formats. I have an outboard Theta processor for non-SACD material. I do not have any video associated with this system.

The rest of my system includes Martin-Logan, Pass, Linn, etc.

Thank you for your comments.

Glad to be of help.
Just a small addition: I feel the sound of the 9000ES is comparable to a good $600 CD player. Maybe also comparable to a very bad $2000 player, but that's not the point.
A good $400 player would be an AH Tjoeb 99 for example, a good $2000 player would be the new Sony X777ES mc SACD player. The 9000ES is definitely worse than the X777ES for redbook audio.

I own a 900V and think it a great unit for DVD and the multi-channel SACD is awesome. It also plays 2 channel SACD and cd's. I've never really been impressed with the redbook performance on any of the Sony models. Don't get me wrong, there pretty good, but I'll keep my Classe CDP 1 for redbook play.
