Help needed on new DVD player, plz this is driving me mad!

I have £250 to spend on a DVD player, which MUST be multiregion, the only thing that is bugging me is that I don`t know which can output NTSC at PAL 50! Do any players besides the Hitatch 505E? I know the sony models out put NTSC at Pal 60 but what will happen if I play this back through a PAL 50 TV? Will it jump? Does anyone have any experiance of playing R1 discs thought PAL 60 on a PAL 50 TV? how is it? Or any info in NTSC - PAL 50 players multiregion for under £250 would be great. I don`t mind if you can`t get one aslong as i know that players such as the Sony DVPNS300 can play R1 discs though a standard PAL 50 UK TV fine. TIA
Chris

With the Wharfedale M5 you can pick and choose between PAL50 or PAL60 - http://www.area450.co.uk is a good starting point.

£180-ish but only from certain stores. Or, since this weekend at computer fairs for £155 (really !!!)

Multi-regional (no Macro hack), plays everything you throw at it - nice looker, tho` dodgy quality control early doors.
