Define "better".
Personally, I'm not a fan of inherent colorations, and SETs qualify as inherently colored. That's a personal thing, though, and I understand the allure of SET.
In terms of your selections of components, I can't argue with what you've chosen, from an electronics standpoint.
Plasma displays (at this time) have poor black levels, and a sort of "memory effect". This is an "afterimage" left on the screen for a period of time -- put on a grid test pattern (sometimes referred to as convergence), and wait 5 minutes. Change over to an unused input, and you will see the grid within the "black screen".
For US$5-6K I would take a serious look at FPTV or one of the new LCD, DLP or D'ILA sets coming to market.
