Epson HC1080UB vs. Panasonic PT-AE3000

[Tok]

If price is a consideration, last year's models are this year's bargains.

Don't get too hyped up about improve CR and other features. Most of the time its just marketing hype. I have a ProCinema1080UB and I would seriously look at that and the Home version especially considering rebates and other incentives.

The HQV feature may be an improvement, but remember the HQV is really only useful if viewing a lot of SD material. For native HD sources like BD it does not do much.
