I thought I'd turn here for some help. I'm seeking to purchase the said LCD rear projectors. Futureshop in Canada has both models (the Wega is 2005 model, all silver) going, with stands included, for $3999.00. The salesmen are telling me to go with the Hitachi (it's a 2004) because it's a better all-around machine by the inventors of the LCD HDTV technology (Hitachi). What do you guys think? For me, it's an aesthetic issue, too; I love the way the Sony looks (no black border too around the screen like on the Hitachi)!
