Main difference is DV and the extra adjustments with "tone mapping modes" are more for people that like to tweak their PQ, example are PJ owners.
Since PJ's can't do DV the 820 is way overkill.
The 420 processes HDR better than any player in this price range(it's the same as the 820).
Since DV is dynamic HDR you get whatever the transfer of the movie gives you.
Depending on that transfer, the HDR processing on the 420 can rival a movie with DV.
The bigger difference is upscaling to 4K, the 420 does that even better.
It does it so well that depending on the transfer of the movie, BD disc may rival 4k streaming.
This player will give you the best PQ from all three disc formats and no issues that people often bring up with other players.

The mapper/enhancer is just for HDR but yes it's upscaling to 4k is even better than the rest even more so.
The HDR type you will want to set it on my guess would be mid to high luninance, you can try high also see which work best.
As others have mentioned, the big thing for me with standalone players is the audio. I have a proper 5.1.2 Atmos setup, and audio via streaming can't hold a candle to uncompressed disc audio. This player has dual HDMI outputs that's let's send video and audio out each separately, if you have an older avr that doesn't do 4k passthrough.

The one with the best upscaler probably matters most, as 99% of my collection is blu-ray.

If you want the best streaming experience I would recommend going with Apple TV 4K, it's the best streaming device IMO.
