Does Pioneer have this issue with their players or is something wrong my LX-H670?
This is like the third time you mentioned this issue. I think it is apparent based on what has already been said that your player either needs some kind of adjustment or maybe the player has an issue w/ the laser pick-up. Might be best you research if there is an available technician where you live that can provide a diagnosis (but make sure they actually understand older technology as many of today's tech's don't seem to get it).
As for Pioneer having this issue, I'm sure its possible if the said player is in need of the same kind of service your Panasonic requires. In any case, none of my 14 working Pioneer based players have any skipping issues (even the few low end players I have as well).

Or this is the major difference between a high end player vs mid end player. Back in the day the Higher end players sold for a bit more. Almost double the price of some Mid end players.
Not really. A low end player can play just as well as a high end unit but the difference is sound & picture quality, build quality (sometimes), and special features. However, some lower end players can have more mechanical issues over time due to the utilization of cheaper parts or just a design that is difficult to work with. Most Pioneer players I would avoid are like the LD-870, CLD-980, CLD-990, CLD-S104, etc. as their build quality is on the light side. Other low end players that I wouldn't mind re-acquring would be a Panasonic, LX-101 or Pioneer, CLD-1030. Although these were more or less featureless players, their build quality are tank like and overall very reliable.
