But you already know my recomendation by looking at my sig....

hey man, debate is always healthy!

myself personally i could not justify the then $650 difference in price between the two sets when i purchased mine, especially when the difference was so small. i think the 80u has amazing blacks and colors, i have also seen and heard reviews that say the c.a.t.s system on the 85u does nothing more than introduce black crush, again though...it is all subjectional

Yea everyone has there own reasons. And I can definitely understand why you didnt go with the 85U for $650 more but now the price difference is only $200 some places. And to me I think paying an extra $200 is worth the 33% increase in contrast level, but hey thats just me
