An alternative is to get a decent player (toshiba, sony, etc.) without progressive and then buy an inexpensive Runco processor to deal with the picture. I bought a Runco on videogon and couple it with a modest samsung dvd player (sharp z10000 projector on an 8 ft screen) and the picture is really impressive. The advantage of using the Runco is similar to the idea of hifi separates in my opinion -- specialization lets each component do its best versus the all-in-one box approach.
That said, there is an added convenience of the one box solution and the dvi connection is a very good alternative. I've been tempted with the new high-end Denon that everyone raves about but I'm waiting for it to come down just a bit (around $3K right now I think).
