Dish DVR vs. DirecTiVo

My parents are thinking of switching from their current setup of a Replay on one TV and a Dish DVR on the other to two dual tuner DirecTiVos. He would have to break the Dish contract at ~$250, but could also just move to an additional Dish DVR for $50 and drop the Replay.

Is it worth it? And he can't get a straight answer from Dish about their dual tuner DVR. Are they available now?

My understanding is the 721 and 921 are dual tuner. But they really don't even come close to TiVo or ReplayTV in functionality.

Once you use a Tivo of any kind it's hard to go back to another type of DVR. I do not know what we do once direct TV drops the Tivo unit.
