Pioneer Kuro 5020FD vs Samsung 52LNA630

I almost bought the Samsung LCD (listed above) for $1999(CAN) a week ago, but decided to do some more research, (never ending battle LCD vs Plasma ) and maybe Plasma is the way to go? I am coming from a Toshiba DLP, and mainly watch Sports and Blu-Ray Movies. So the refresh rates of a Plasma easily takes the cake. However one major issue is "glare" my living room has a huge Bay window behind my seating area, so hence the reason of looking at a Samsung LCD in the first place. But I have looked at both in stores and the blacks and colours of the Kuro are mind blowing. Isn't that the main reason to buy a TV? last week the Kuro was well over $3000(CAN) and I couldnt justify the high cost ($3000+) however, Good thing I waited cause this week the Pioneer Kuro above has dropped down to $2799(CAN) and I have haggled already with the store to a price of $2499(CAN) if I get the extended warranty, but I was going to get the extended warranty anyways with the Samsung.

So my question to you all, is the extra $500 base price difference worth it, between these two models, my first reaction was YES, but should I be concerned about the "glare affect" or have the new PLASMA's in particular the Kuro come a long ways with there anti-glare technology? they have a auto setting that will adjust to your living room etc....

Any info would greatly be appreciated.

Its been way to long now of my back and forth model to model and I would like to get something done soon. I have posted threads about LCD's in there forum, but its my first post here in the Plasma Forum.
