not to mention lcd was only like $6K (ok, $10K with audio equipment) and the same 60" sony plasma was $30K...
my contractor was able to swing a very good deal for me because he installs for all of the high end homes in Whistler (as well as offer me a guaranty on the TV beyond Sony's), so it all worked out very well...
