Sony KDS2000 or KDL-W3000?

[Dukkha]

hey guys im having some doubts about what to buy...I went to this official sony store where i finally managed to have a look at the kds2000 rear projection television...Now i was actually hoping to get the kds3000, which looks way better...the kds2000 is kinda old already so eventhough i was planning on buying this (or preferably the 3000, but doesnt come out in europe by the looks of it ) rear projection, now im having doubts about buying a normal lcd anyway...The dude from the store had good reviews about the kdl52W3000 lcd...
Now i know rear projection has better specs, but still the screens (the color, contrast, sharpness) still look better on those lcd's with lower contrast ratio's and response time...I wonder how this can be? When viewing the specs a rear projection's screen should be way better and sharper, yet it looks like as if the kds2000's colors are way more...'damp' than the lcd's...the colors just dont have that much color...
So im starting to think id be better off with a new lcd thats only a couple of 100 bucks more...Unless u guys can convince me otherwise? Should i get the (olllld) kds2000 projection model or just go for the new KDL3000 lcd series...Rear projection or lcd? Im probably going for the lcd anyways cause its newer and the kds is way old...atleast the 2000...unless u guys can really convince me that its like wayyy better? The lcd is ofcourse more thin, so i got more space, and also doesnt have a lamp that has to be replaced every couple of years...But its mainly for playing ps3 and watching tv..
I wouldnt mind hearing your opinions about this; thx in advance
