Don't get a EDTV. John

I am currently in the market for a new television. Currently, I own a 27? Sony Wega Trinitron & I am looking to upgrade to a HDTV. I really don?t want to spend over $2,000 & the cheaper the better. Right now I am leaning towards the NEW Sony 42" Grand WEGA? 3LCD Rear Projection HDTVKDF-E42A10 or a 42? EDTV. Most of my time in front of the tube is spent watching sports (especially the NFL) & DVD movies. I don?t plan on mounting my TV on the wall, so regardless of if I go plasma the TV will be on a stand.
What are your thoughts?
Should I go EDTV or LCD Projection or DLP Projection?
What TV sets are recommended in each category?
What will give me the best value?
Is the 42? Sony Lcd set that I mentioned above rated towards the top of its class?
Your input would be greatly appreciated!!!!
