Depends on what you seek, Pop - I had an 'analogue' JVC HDD DVD rec go the way of all JVC HDD DVD etcs recently and purchased a Panasonic EX-83 for £210 delivered. Not real 'state of the art' (not blu-ray, single tuner etc) but quite satisfactory, with 'HD upscaling' (none available in darkest Sussex yet).
If one criticism, no mute button on hand controller, which otherwise will control the (Sony) TV. Sight loss of 'clever' linkage between Sony TV and Pan DVD but not an issue.
Sony no longer make what you seek, and Panasonic have the best range IMO.
