Sony dropped the price of the 50" A2000, but it no longer has the
upper end Wega HD engine. The 50" I have is XBR series while the
A2000 is not. You have to step up to the 60" XBR SXRD to get
the equivalent of the 50" XBR that I have (but the new ones
have 1080p inputs).
If there is some other difference in the XBR besides the WEGA chip,
it is certainly better than the non XBR A2000 SXRD for picture.
So far my 50" XBR is a champ (knocking on wood!). The picture in
HD is breathtaking. A real stunner.

I know the SXRD2 is a different beast. I thought the A2000 was pretty much the same as the SXRD1. Perhaps because of all the trouble they had with the SXRD OB, they changed it completely.
