The Darbee looks very tempting. I have been meaning to upgrade my 93 to a 103 for some time now. Glad I delayed.

The people who benefit the most from the Darbee video processing (contrast/detail enhancer) are the ones with front projectors.

EDIT: People with flat panels too. The better your source (eg.; Blu-ray movies) the more impressive the effect.

Still, the 103D ($599) is worth it over the 103 ($499), because the 103 has a built-in NR (Noise Reduction) control active (ON) all the time (default setting; from its HDMI 1 output - Qdeo video processor), and it cannot be defeated!
...No such thing with the 103D.

EDIT: The more I read about the 103D (AVS) the more it is recommended by people who I trust, over the original 103.

I have just bought a Darbee Darblet to go with my Oppo BDP-95 and DVDO Iscan VP50pro. It cost $350 Canadian (about $300 US) and yes, I could have bought the 103D for just a bit more but I like the audio from my BDP-95. Plus I can use it for Satellite TV and Laser Disc as well. I am using it with a Mitsubishi HC5 front projector onto a 92" screen.

I like the extra depth (almost 3D like), apparent sharper focus and increased detail that I see from each source. The better the picture to begin with, the better it seems to work. I am still tweeking it, though, as it is very easy to over do it and get an unnatural looking picture. I am sure the improvement would be the same for the 103D over the 103. It would definitely be worth the little bit extra to get the darbee version.
