Okay, I understand your reasoning (I'm a purist myself), but why spend $500 on a stand-alone BD player then?

Many of the currently best stand-alone BD players are cheaper than $500 according to reviews, e.g.

It doesn't have to be $500.00, I have just seen a real dropoff in quality at the lower price points. I'll check those out.
