You'll be making such a jump in picture quality (PQ) that you can't go wrong with either one. Let's go to a world of pretend and say CRTs have no geometry or convergence issues only the PQ matters. Let's say the 910 has a perfect picture (which it doesn't) - well give it a 100%. The 510 would be, in my guess, a 95%. This is, of course, totally subjective.
The 910 has a "Super Fine Pitch" tube. This gives you a bit more resolution than the 510 as it has more slits in the screen. The extra slits do make the picture have a bit less contrast than the 510, though this is solved by bumping it up a notch or two in the menu. It also has adjustable DRC which some find useful if you watch a lot of standard definition (SD) TV. The 510 has DRC, just not adjustable.
Yes the warranty is better with the 910 as well, as you stated (3yrs. vs. 1 yr.). They both suffer from the scrolling vertical bar problem, which if you don't know about, don't worry about (as it's next to impossible for most people to see, and once you see it you'll wish you never did).
Rule of thumb is if you sit >10' away from the set save your cash. You'll find more things to spend the extra savings money on.
Also if you shop around the 910 can be had for only $200 more. At that point go for the 910.
I have the 510. After 9 months my jaw still drops when a nice HD picture is broadcast. I'm probably be biased though.
Both require gorilla strength to move.
