As I said, I thought the X1 looked fantastic, but it took some tooth pulling to get store credit rather than just another RPTV, and they don't sell the X1. Sadly, the store is only a step up from Future Shop. While I could get gear like a new DVD player, Denon receiver, etc. I really don't need them and high-end stuff (amps, pre/pros) isn't carried.
In the end, the smartest thing for me to do is probably hold off yet another few months on paying down my line of credit and get the Panny with a decent screen. I've already done the "cheap out, then end up spending double for upgrades" thing a half-dozen times over with speakers.
