Question for Pete W (and others)

Pete, I read your post regarding the panasonic plasma displays below. I am looking for a 50" display and am going to be using it for HT (via a DVP-9000ES) and regular TV viewing about 50/50. I have decided to go this route because my audio system uses an open baffle speaker design and I finally decided not to seperate my HT and 2 Channel system due to space constraints. I have read many of the reviews and have looked on the avs forum and it seems that the Panasonic and NEC displays would be good choices at this time. I know the panasonic will do deeper blacks (some people report that it is at the expense of low level details) and that it's been reported that the NEC has a better picture when using a standard cable signal (still not certain if my new place of residence will allow me to hand a dish). What's your take on these 2 displays?
