Oppo directly? Amazon...audioholics.com? Somewhere else?

...and why?

Wanting to order a new bdp-93 soon (maybe today if there's a consensus here!). Thanks...
Thanks!

    Why buy the BDP-93 with the BDP-95 just around the corner?

    Because it's a $500 difference. Some need the upgraded analog section some don't.

    I don't have the ear you guys do or a set-up that would make the $1k investment worthwhile. Wife doesnt get the 'need' for the 93 to begin with so getting her on the 95 train would just be too much to pull off if you know what I mean...
    Thanks!

    With it being a relatively new product though, buying direct from oppo would have service and support advantages though if ever needed I'd assume? Or is ther no difference?
    Thanks!

    Summit audio video owner-John casler- says 465 each for his clients. I Googled them and didn't find much on it. Guess he does custom installs or something.
    Thanks!

    I thought the deal was more in the line for the newer 95. Oh well...
