Blu Ray player startup/loading time compared to Pioneer 51FD

My trusty old Pioneer 51FD seems to be finally giving up the ghost. My OH will allow a new one to be purchased only if it is significantly faster to boot up and load discs that the current one.
How much faster are the new players than my relatively ancient one?
How much faster specifically is a Marantz UD7006, as this isnt the newest, but can be got for not too much money now, and appeals as its supposed to be a good player with universal disc support? If I take a punt and its no quicker I may be in the dog house 
It's a lot faster than the Pioneer, don't worry!
If you find Denon 2012UD to be cheaper, go for that instead. It's the same player as the Marantz:
