For me... part of being the best HD player includes its ability to upconvert SD-DVDs. I own quite a few and many of them are not offered in HD format at this time. Plus I rent a lot of movies that I don't buy and they are not available in HD for me to rent, therefore, upconversion in whatever I buy is very important.
I can say this, it plays everything thrown at it (of course with the exception of HD DVDs) and upconverts it too...

It plays store bought SDVDs, DVD-R, DVD+R, and even handles DL with no problem which my A2 did have some issues with. For the fun of it I made a double feature disc out of my Planet Terror and Death Proof discs so I could have the same 'double feature' as when it played in the theater and it plays flawlessly, which it wouldn't on the A2. Home videos burnt to DVD play fine too and I've had some quirks with those on other players at times.

My brother has a Panasonic BD player, I think the BD30 and he is very happy with it. I don't know the full specs/features of it though.
