Neither one is 1.1 compliant. I have the Sharp, and for the most part its pretty good. I've been underwhelmed with Sony's offerings. Both will probably need a FW update.

Thanks. Right now I'm leaning toward the Sharp. I know you have the Toshiba XA1 which should be very similar to my XA2. How does the picture quality between the Toshiba and the Sharp compare?

  For DVds, the Sharp is a little better. As far as HD DVD Vs. BD, they are comparable. I actually did an A/B comparison of the same encode, with the two formats, and found the Sharp and the A1 *slightly* different, but comparable.
  I think you'll be happy with it.
  Note: it will probably need a FW update.
