OK, well... Let me say it this way, when comparing composite with S-video.

We are speaking of differences that have an impact that cause us to install one over the other. If I have a DVD playing, the switch from composite to S-vid is unmistakably better in S-vid. The moire effect alone in composite is disgusting. I suppose other sources could be more difficult to distinguish, but at installation time, I would never go with composite only.

Interesting that there's a difference of opinion on whether you can see a difference between S and component.

If the client had a progressive DVD, I would likely hook up both S and component. The S connection would allow him to leave it on say, Video 1 if he wished, letting the receiver do all switching, but if he wanted to get the best performance, he could switch to the component input.

If I could sell him the Pronto (I'll work on 50% sell rate, VTS, and work my way up to 95%) then it would be a non-issue.
