Sony 50" LCD TVs - kf-50xbr800 vs kdf-50we655

I see that the WE655 (latest model) goes for 2400 shipped and the WE610 (one model old) goes for 2650 shipped (lowest online via pricegrabber). I also see that the XBR800, albeit 2 models old now, is still going for +1k more shipped online. I noticed that the XBR800 is 20lbs heavier than the WE655.
1. Being that the WE610/WE655 are not XBR TVs, is anything sacrificed in terms of picture or build quality?
2. If I get the XBR800, is having only DVI-HDCP going to hinder me since it doesn't have DVI-HDMI?
3. Is not having the black border on the WE655 a hinderance when viewing (eyes can't focus as well?) being that it's all silver?
