Is it advisable to stock up on projection lamps for HDTV's that use them?

76.189.13.91

I have a Sony KDF-42E2000, LCD rear projection HDTV, which uses a 'user serviceable' (user can easily install) projection lamp that supposedly lasts around 6000 hours. Is it advisable to stock up on at least one of these lamps, or do you think they will be available in 2 or 3 years (when my lamp dies)? My fear is that Sony will discontinue this lamp by then. I've heard 'horror stories' of people purchasing HDTVs that require lamps, and not being able to get any because the manufacturer discontinued their specific model HDTV AND the lamp that goes with it!
