Reference disc player...UDP 205 or Marantz?


Hey guys....
I've decided to take the plunge, and get my last reference disc player--at least for a very long time--and I'm looking for opinions on the subject.
I really wanted to get the Marantz SA-14S1, it sounds fantastic for sure, but I started to read all the glowing reviews on the Oppo UDP-205. Is it just hype, or the real thing? Is the Oppo really that rare piece of equipment that punches that far above its price? Who here has listened to the oppo and/or the Marantz? How do they compare? 
Thanks!

Dude, you need to get a handle on your attitude is my best advice.  I wouldn't spend a minute of my time to inform you of my experience given your arrogance.  Chill out.  
Both are quite good, but clearly not "reference" players.  Jez sayin', and I run an Oppo CDP.
