Well i had the same dilemma

I eventually went for the Pioneer 636D

And im very happy with it. It has played everything ive thrown @ it without question (R1,R2,RCE, CDR`s, CDRW`s)

i linked it to a DTS/THX AMP via the optical out and the sound is amazing.

( i really wanted a player that would also replace my aging CD player, this it has also done)

it also has the added bonus of being VCR friendly, not that i have used it.......!.

The ONLY thing that i would have liked is for it to be able to playback MP3`s.
