I am about to teach a graduate course in educational technology
for the first time.  I am in the
process of purchasing a laserdisk player for the course.  I would like
to show the grad students how to control it from a Mac (level III).  I
am looking at the Pioneer V2200 and 4200.  The 4200 has a lot faster
random access but costs almost twice as much and only has wired remote
control. I have had no  experience with these beasts so I am working 
with knowledge from reading only. What features are important? Should
I be looking at other player lines? The only other one I have read about is
Sony. WHere are good sources for discounted players?

Any wisdom that you may be willing to pass along would be appreciated.
