My 61" Samsung DLP cost $1899. I just bought a replacement bulb for $170 (don't need it yet, but just keeping in ready since the current bulb has about 4500 hours on it). A plasma screen of the same size would have been double what I paid for the DLP, and to me anyway, the picture quality was identical.

I do agree that plasma has much more of a wow factor, and is the best choice for space limitations.
