Sony 9000ES better CD/SACD than 999ES


is the 9000es still a much better cd and SACD player than the new 999es? i tend to me more critical when it comes to music than video. but how much better, if any, is the 999es video playback over the 9000es?

thanks in advance for any help here.

5.1 would be nice, but i prefer 2 channel, especially if the 9000ES is noticably better in 2-ch over the 999ES. if it's not much of a difference then it would seem best to go with the 999ES.
what about modding the 999es from modwright? how good are those improvements?
i talked to Dan from Modwright and he mentioned the 999ES has better electronics but stock the 9000 is better, but with the basic mod on the 999, it will outperform the 9000 with level 2 mods. interesting....
