The difference in size alone is HUGE though..... I think the 61" DLP will blow you away.... personally, if you have the space, and don't need to (or have a desire to) hang the t.v. on the wall..... I'd go with the DLP, the picture quality of the nicest plasma on the market probably isn't enough difference from that set to justify giving up 11" of viewing size (in my opinion)
I looked at the price also... WOW... that's a deal.... I didn't realize the DLPs were that cheap
