All variants of the 750 and 750s are excellent machines, but as one would expect, the later generations are all improvements on the earlier versions.
Although the 750s is a better machine than the 750 (it adds official DTS support, MP3 capability, operates its on-screen displays quicker and has the better remote control), don't write-off the 750 if you can pick one up second-hand, cheaply.
Some 750's are also reported to be quite noisy when playing some discs, but it does not seem to be a problem on all players.
