new Nintaus models

[lid]

I posted here a few weeks ago about the Nintaus 9901 DVD which I finally got hold of, but thought you may be interested to now that Nintaus are about to release 3 new models with specs below. Incidently, I got the 9901 from JB HiFi who I think lack in customer service. I phoned them around the same time as my original post asking them to get back to me when they got some new stocks of the 9901's. They didn't get back to me, but my friend (and brother in law in Melbourne - thanks Craig!) got one for me. Anyway - the new models:

dvd-N9769 has the progressive scan function.
and the dvd-n9738/n9739 have the DTS decorder output.

Comparing
dvd-n9739 to dvd-n9738,the different point is that they have different front
pannel. About the other functions are the same.

Not being Technical Minded here- but as a owner of a Nintaus(dvd 9901) model... I was wondering if there is much difference between the newer models and the one that I own?
What(if any) are the advantages or extras that are on these models which wouldn't be on 9901?

Compare the stats !
Ok, mainly these differences - the new model(s) have:

1. Progressive scan function
2. DTS decoder 5.1 channel output (old modem has the output, not the decoder on-board)
4. Compatible with HDCD
12. Compatible with PAL60 TV system
16. Y, Pb, Pr output, VGA output
20. intelligent upgrade function

I know nothing about their projected retail price.
I do know they are being submitted for European Certification (CE) and will be available around February.

I suspect the 9901 will be superceded.
If not, probable a price drop on that model.
