Which of these SACD players would you choose?

Oppo BDP-80 (blu-ray, SACD, DVD Audio) - Retail $289

Pioneer Elite PD-D6-J (SACD) - Retail $499 on Sale for $229

I already have an Integra 6-disk CD player and a Samsung blu-ray player that would be replaced by the Oppo and obviously would stay with the Pioneer Elite.

It seems that there should be less compromise with the Pioneer Elite because of its retail price and the fact that it has fewer features. I have room in my entertainment center for another component, but would mind keeping it simple.

What are you thoughts?

Don't have any of them, but looks like you made a good choice for the money, as this player is focused on audio. Here is the review:

How many hours on Integra VS Pioneer?

"The Pioneer is probably over 8 years old and the Integra is fairly new. I'm not sure why that matters as they nearly sound the same. "
For some reason I thought you were comparing the new Pioneer to Integra that already had some hours on it. The reason I asked for hours is, based on my personal experience, electronics do take some time to stabilize (speakers, even more). And I did not want you to take a decision based on couple of hours of equipment "burn-in". But since it not the newer equipment, my question does not mean anything.
But I am glad you liked the new Pioneer. I think you should post a pic of your system along with the new player :-) Enjoy your music.
