Looks like cheaper blu-ray player components are starting to find themselves in the players. This is great news. Both players look promising.
As much as I know full spec is "important", I don't CARE about profile 2.0 (as long as the disc can be played properly). + it wasn't clear whether you can send the decoded LPCM over HDMI (as the article emphasised sending it over analog), but I'm sure you can, and if so, the cheap $299 player looks like a great player for the market indeed.
