Guys...I need advice...

Initially, I have decided to just go with the Egreat and the Oppo as an upgrade for my HT set-up. Now, due to budget constraints, I don't think I can afford both.

But will certainly prioritize the Egreat between the two. Since I do need an upscaling dvd player, I am considering this unit:

Philips DVP3980K/98 Upscaling Player
Based from the inputs of Doc Nerve, it is a very good upscaling dvd player. But there are pros and cons...Pros:Price is relatively cheap for an upscaling dvd player
Philips is known to be the "King of DVD's" in terms of playing any type of formatted disc (not choosey)
Upscaling capabilities is good
The unit is colored black
Cons:No USB port
No provision for Optical Cable (Coax only)
No internal DTS decoder (to be verified)
My question now is...should I consider this than the Oppo due to price?
Points to consider:Oppo is a superb player but expensive!
Oppo has USB port.
(but do I still need this if I will be getting the Egreat?)Oppo has provisions for Optical Cable.
(is SQ better using optical cable or coax?)Hope you can enlighten me...
