Buy the one that you like - that looks best in your eyes. If you just want to listen to music you dont have the need for the BC2, however the BC2 comes in two different types, with DVD or with CD only. If you like to use a cd changer then BS9000 is the right one.. I dont think either one is better. 

I have a BC2 and I love it, I think it looks great on my livingroom wall! And I know alot of people here that are as much inlove with their BS9000... 

:) 

If you only play music, the 9000, has the advantage on the bc2 as you can load 6 cd's in. I had a bs 4 and it drove me nutt's (being used to a 9000) to have to keep changing the cd.

I also understand that the BC2 is a little bit slow when it comes to start-up time. A consequence of the dvd-mech I assumme. 

Even if I was building a video system, I would choose the 9000.

I would go for a BS9000 It's a classic.

Try to find a limited white version...

Anyone got one as of these up and part of a working system ?

I remember Lee mentioning he has one squirreled away......

I must say i do still love my BC2! I still do love the display, which i use all the time, particularly when listening to N.RADIO. It gives me all the track info so that when i really like a track i know who it is- particularly useful for something that really grabs you and you've never heard before!

In reality both the BC2 and BS9000 are classics and look great. You probably can't go wrong with either!!

I´d go for the BC2 as it gives more options. If you decide later to use it as a DVD player, you already have it. I do have many CDs, but they are all ripped and stored away. So I could not use the BS9000 (which I like design wise) as it was intended to.
