I was in Best Buy (Canada) yesterday and they had the A2020 on at $1100. At that price it is a real steal. I have had mine since just before Christmas and am very happy with it.
You do need to decide if you can handle the silk screen effect of rptvs, but if you can, its a great TV.
Sony did have some real problems with their 1st gen lcos sets, but the A2000 and up have been quite reliable. It is still possible to run into problems with the optical block, but that seems to be a risk with all of the newer projection sets.
The reason Sony, and others are getting out of projection is most likely cost and fashion. Most people have a bias towards a set you can mount on a wall.
