HD73 or IN78, how do they compare?

I was wondering if anyone had had a chance to compare the HD73 against the IN78? I know that at the moment that the HD73 is the cream of the crop so to speak in its price range, but this alas does not tell me how it stands up against the IN78 which granted cost £500 more.

The reason I ask (instead of shooting of for a demo) is because I will have to travel a while before their a dealer that can do both, but more importantly is because I have the money now (or will on Wednesday when the cheque clears) to buy a HD73 but I will have to wait another month to save the difference for the IN78, and I’m wondering if it worth hold on for another month.

I’d also like to know how these two models stack up against one another, but I think few, if any, will have made this comparison so you may be on your own here. I need the larger offset offered by the HD73 so I think this may be the one for me.

the IN78 never really made much noise on here really! maybe it wasn't that much better than the already very popular IN76??

I don't know, from what little i've read on here about it, when people have viewed it next to the IN76 they have all said it was better (by how much varied). But then being Darkchip3 i would expect it to be, however just because it better than the IN76 does not mean its better than the HD73 which is also Darkchip3. The only thing i know for deffinate that the IN78 is better in is it native res of 1280 x 720 over 1280 x 768 of the HD73, but thats not enough for me to spend an extra £500 odd on!

I found Creative Audio quite helpful in a recent enquiry so you could ask for their opinions on this as I know they are promoting both PJs at the moment.
