I would pick the Panasonic DMP-BD35 or DMP-BD55. Both do an excellent job with video, both Blue-ray and DVD (including upscaling) and both have onboard Dolby HD audio decoding as well as DTS HD audio decoding. The DMP-BD35 is also 25% cheaper in price than the BDP-S350. The Sonys do not do onboard DTS decoding other than the core DTS. The Sony BDP-S350 with the newer NEC chip does video better than the BDP-S500 (it has problems with 2:2 pulldown but so does the BDP-S500). Sounds like you already made your choice but between the two Sonys I'd go with better video processing over weight unless of course you play football with your disc player.
