Just to offer edification on my question, price is not the issue. I could afford either set. In a living room setting will I really notice the difference since the room won't be blacked out?

Also I wanted a larger set, but I think the 60" sony is shipping soon.

We have a 50" Panasonic plasma, and brightness levels are no problem at all. Our family room faces west, so we have a lot of light in the afternoon, but the Panasonic is still plenty bright. I have it calibrated, so it is not adjusted for max brightness levels, and it is still plenty bright. I dont think brightness is a problem with plasmas anymore.

Try viewing different screens in lighting similar to what you get in your room. My room is a living room with windows behind the screen which have curtains drawn over them if I'm viewing and, further along that wall, a large picture window onto a patio. The living room area opens to the kitchen with a skylight in the ceiling, a breakfast nook which also overlooks the patio and a hallway to the front door which has a narrow window beside it. I've got light coming from several directions and the only time I can fully black the area out is at night.

Judging from the plasmas I've seen in homes, which have been Panasonics and an NEC, I believe I would certainly see a difference in my room because the plasmas I've seen definitely don't look their best in lighting levels similar to what I have in my room during the day. Some of the new plasmas like the Kuros may be better but I haven't seen one of them in use.
