...where they're as anal and obsessed with HT as we inmates are with audio. Haven't seen chatter that the Oppos BDP has serious problems, just the usual, handled by firmware upgrades. It's still their fair-haired child at AVS.

Were you basing this on the beta testers? I haven't seen anything at AVSforum that leads me to think the BDP83 is less reliable than average the average BDP. Care to point to a specific thread somewhere? You'll be doing firmware upgrades and possibly encountering "handshake" issues with almost any BDP, it's inherent in the changing nature of the BD format. Oppos are generally held to be more reliable than most.
