It sounds like you are comparing apples and oranges. One is a direct-view set and the other is a RP set. I think the decision may come down to whether you want size or picture quality.In my opinion, the direct-view set will give you superior picture when calibrated properly (factory settings on Sony tubes are way too bright). This will be an advantage if your viewing distance is short. If you are in a larger room and the viewing distance is greater, then the RP set may be more suitable.
One study I read suggested that vertical size of the screen be about 1/3 to 1/2 the viewing distance. That may seem a bit too close, but the new DTVs have such a dramatically improved picture quality that it really does work. I often enjoy watching my (relatively) diminutive 30" widescreen direct-view set from about 4 to 5 feet away.
