Pioneer plasma

by jackte50 Sep 11, 2008 11:07PM PDT

I am interestesd in buying either the 720P Pioneer Kuro 5080($1500) or the 1080P 5010($2200) as a display model. Would anyone think that either of these would be a better buy? Would the possibility of buying a Bluray player in the future be a deciding factor with the 5010? Thanks!

My family room is set up so the viewing area is 10-12 feet. I have read that the 720P 5080 model is as good as any 1080P model on the market.
