Fitz:
DLPs are plentiful to demo in St. Louis.
Hi-Fi-Fo-Fum has a Sharp, The Sound Room in Creve Couer just opened and has a very impressive showroom with both a Runco and Sharp on display. Best Sound on Lindbergh has two projectors on display as well.
Also, Ultimate Electronics has both the Sharp 9000 and the Sony 11HT LCD on display.
If you are interested in looking at a D-ila, I am unaware of any dealer with one on display in St. Louis. Art makes a good suggestion, looking at one installed in a real world environment may be helpful. You are welcome to look at my D-ila if you like.
(I'm always trying to drag people over to show off.
