Headline says it all... I've got a Panny BDP-55 and am pretty satisfied with it, but would upgrade to the Oppo BDP-83 if it offered an improvement in audio or video over HDMI. Not really interested in SACD or DVD-A capability, just movies and as a CD transport. Thanks for your input.

The transport version is ~$200 less.

For your DVD collection, the oppo has a better deinterlacer and scaler than the Panasonic. How noticeable this would be to you is tough to say due to other factors that influence picture quality.

  Interesting... I think SD DVDs look great in the Panny. And it's supposed to have some kind of special capacitors for better sound (although I don't know if that applies to HDMI).
  
  Thanks for the info.
