JVC XV-BP1 or Samsung BD-P1600

Both are around the same price, but which one would you say is better? I haven't seen many reviews on the JVC, but from what I have read it's an excellent player. I've never owned a JVC product before and I'm not a huge Samsung fan either, but I am willing to give both of these a shot. They are both in my price range. I'm looking to replace my PS3 in my living room.

BTW, the PS3 I am keeping for my kids. They still play all the LEGO games and other misc games. Also, their "kids" movies are all in blu-ray.
