DVD choice for two-channel set up

Help!
We've had a base model Sony DVD player for two years. Our television is a 36" Sony WEGA flatscreen. I'm really starting to notice that DVDs aren't truly black and some other picture problems. I want to upgrade.
The audio runs through:
Arcam FMJ CD-23T
a Rogue 99 Magnum with vintage Sylvanias,
Bryston 4B-ST power
Thiel CS 2.3 speakers
Interconnects are all Cardas Golden Reference, powercords are Shunyata research and PS Audio through a PS Audio P300 for sources, including the DVD.
Yesterday I picked up a Denon DVD 1600 as a floor model at Tweeter for $348. I went on a whim and when presented with the deal, I bit.
I noticed a much better picture, but I want to do better with the DVD sound.
I have been thinking about a used Arcam Diva 88 DVD for a while. I was very happy with the Diva 92 CD player before getting the FMJ-23. Economics prevents a full out junp to the Arcam FMJ DVD player.
So, should I leave well enough alone with the Denon or jump at a used Arcam?
Again, this is for DVD movies only, but my wife and I enjoy them tremendously so an upgrade is possible.
Thanks!
