Pioneer Elite vs. Pioneer "Standard" Kuro Plasmas

I just read the Audioholic and read that Pioneer might be exiting their plasma - I still want to get one before it does phase out - I truly like the Elite over the other plasma like the Samsung and Panasonic - So, I am now searching for a good deal - have anyone purchased a KURO from the advertisement on videogon? Or any other recommendation on where I can get a good deal on a Elite? I will check on the website that is posted on this forum....

Thanks Kenny, I will check them out as well.... axxisaudio.com are selling the PRO111FD for $2699 and that includes shipping! And it sounds like Pioneer are pulling away from tv after seven months! That is a bummer!!!!!

Any comments on the last posting? How does everyone feel about that, would all of you be uneasy buying one of the best plasma on the today's market? The Elite model is the only hdtv that got 10 out of 10 from CNET.... I've been watching the price drop and I'm patiently waiting for a good deal.

Pioneer losing, Sony losing money, what company now these days making money.....I'm planning to buy a KURO this Spring anyway....

What kind of price did you nabbed from Best Buy - I just got informed from Axxis Audio that Pioneer just dropped there prices on the 151 model by couple of hundres of dollars - did you get it hooked up and your result is......
