Sony S7700, S7000, or ??? best low cost transport?


HI all,
I've seen some threads on this, and even recently, but was unable to find the specific one I was looking for in the archives.
Sooooo....one and for all now..... :-) Your opinions please... on which of these (the Sony S7000 or the s7700) makes for the best CD transport value for the dollar, and why?
Also, if there is another unit that is as good or better then these, as a CD transport, please tell me which one that is that you recommend?
Thanks and happy listening!

I currently use my old 7000 as a transport. Tried a 7700, but it was imo not as good as the 7000. Have also tried most of the Teac VRDS drives (T1, 10 and 20) but alwayes ended up going back to my 7000.
To me the sound is sweeter and more natural, at least compared to the Teac drives. They had more details, but less music.
So IMHO for the money the 7000 cant be beat.. And you have to spend a lot, to get better sound..
