Yamaha SACD players

Looking for feedback on Yamaha CD-S1000 and or CD-S2100, overall impressions, build quality, any issues and where did you buy your unit. It is my understanding that when it comes to the transport both S1000 and S2100 are essentially the same, what is your overall impression of the sound specifically of SACD's.

I have the CD-S1000 and am more than pleased with it's smoothness, ridiculous 33 lbs build quality, and overall sound quality.  I don't think the transports are exactly the same but if the CD-S2100 is even close to the CD-1000's, then it is spectacular.

As far as SACD sound quality, I am sure you know all SACDs are not created equal.  Some discs I own sound great while others sound well, average CD quality.

It was fine for packing but Yamaha uses a plain old rigid styrofoam mold which can crumble/crack with hard impact if not protected by double boxing, etc.  Yamaha does double box though.  I bought my CD-S1000 used so it's packaging was worn a bit but arrived intact and without blemish.
