What you say goes against experience. For BD. For both digital audio and video. For (upscaled) DVD though the PS3 is easy to beat.
With BD, since the players are so close in their BD video output, the display will make by far the most diff. The diff between players for BD is way more about other factors than their quality of HDMI A/V output.
That said, I don't think I would recommend someone buy a PS3 NOW strictly for BD/DVD playing. For the same money there are players more convenient to integrate into more types of HT systems. The PS3 is an AV computer, not strictly a "disc player", with the pros and cons that has.
The first thing I would check out when deciding on a brand is to see how often they put out firmware updates. This is incredibly important, and some companies are quite poor for this. Otherwise you will regularly find new BDs your player won't play.
