Why pay $2700 for a castrated set? I paid under $2000 for an outright 
HDTV. Granted, it is rear projection, and not plasma, but... I just 
can't see spending that kind of money for a half-ass set. I suppose if 
you aren't going to get anything but NTSC broadcast for some time, that 
would be a factor. Around Seattle, I can get quite a few HD channels 
now...
