Even the Contrast on the Mits is too high - I think most of us are using it in the low 30-range (TV Menu, Video, Settings). The colors are fairly close out-of-the-box on the Mits, if you change it to the Low Temperature setting (same menu). It's very easy to dial-in the colors on the Mits - more so than other sets I've looked at.
I used the internal speakers for the center channel for a few weeks. It worked fine, and they matched my Def-tech's well enough. I have since switched to a real center channel though, because I didn't like the way the receiver was handling the setup (everything pushed to the FL/FR, since the receiver "thought" there was no center channel).
The lack of bulb-coverage would not be a deal killer for me, if the warranty was strong in other areas (lemmon clause, electrical overload, etc.).
