demo of sharp 12k or marantz s3??

I cannot find in the Chicago area a demo of the Sharp 12000 or Marantz S3. ABT has two Sharp's but they will not demo them in their pj room until they sell the old 10000. do you believe that. Anyone have one that I can view. I have seen the Dwin t3, Runco cl-710 and the JVC sx21 (also Hx1)..


Trying hard to make up my mind soon. Sounds like deep blacks and contrast is the dlps and color and more filmlike is the JVC's.

Any help out there.

Thanks Gerry
