Default HTPC vs Standalone BD (Pros & Cons)
I've been doing alot of reading and thinking before I dive into one of the above choices (HTPC or standalone BD), so I figured I'd come up with my own list of pros/cons and ask for input if I missed anything.

A HTPC would provide many more options in terms of video playback (DivX, x264, pretty much anything) but is limited when it comes to audio (no DTS-HD/MA or TrueHD capabilities as far as I know?)

A Standalone BD player would work right outta the box, little setup, but limited in its ability and upgradability.

Anyone who has gone thru the same dilemma wish to help me out with some advice?
