I have actually taken my equipment into the big-screen retailer here to test the new sets a couiple years ago, and was not impressed with any of them enough to consider a change. Of course, now things might be different, but I decided to wait for the Pioneer to die first.

One thing's for sure, all of the newer sets are way lighter than my old set, so that will be a plus.
I was in the same boat as your rix, but I suggest you check out an ISF-calibrated Sony KDS-60A3000 in a proper environment (i.e. darkened theater room, not showroom floor). I believe this is the digital set that sinks CRT in overall quality. Check it out.
