Panasonic DMR EH55 VS Pioneer DVR-640H-S

Tweet

I've narrowed my choices down to these 2 units. I'm looking for something that will record + dual layer media, have a large hard drive, easy editing features, Excellent picture quality , and most of all, reliability. I've had major problems with Sony products and I don't want to repeat them again. HDMI out, Component in would be great, but neither are deal killers if not included. Any feed back would be greatly appreciated.
