I just ordered one of these changers. What delayed me for so long was being worried about not having serial control. Given that the serial control version (the Elite one) is more than twice the price, I decided trying out the lower one was the right choice.
My harmony remote will control it using a list of titles, and eventually, I expect CQC will do the same. If it misses a command I'll hit the button again I am thinking (I understand that serial is ideal, but the price difference does not seem to justify itself here. Plus, I have a history of finding issues with Sony products so I am hesitant on buying a $800 retail DVD player from them. I feel more comfortable with the investment around $279 each. If it works out I can take my savings and add two more players...
In any event, I'll post my experiences in case there are others wondering about this as well.
