Which 16:9, 46" RPT--Toshiba v. Sony


Due to space (and wife) constraints, I need to get a 46" RPT. I'm having a hard time deciding between the new Toshiba 46in. Cinema Series that comes out next month ($2000) or the Sony KP-46WT500 available now for $1600. Apparentely the Toshiba will have upgrade any signal to 1080i. The Sony probably doesn't have as many bells and whistles. Does anyone have either of these??
Also, any other models in that price range I should look at. Thanks in advance

I have to agree with both of the other respondents. Pioneer Elite is the Premier Rear Projection TV (RPT) manufacturer, and Mitsubishi is the next best. (I have the Mitsubishi 46" Table Top myself, as it was about 1/3 less than the Pioneer Elite). The regular pioneer line is almost as good as the Mitsubishi.
Note, that the 46" Mitsubishi is discontinued, although they now have both a 42" table top, and a free standing 48" RPT.

Good Luck!
