I very much agree with the other replies in this thread, watch out buying a crt based floor models. Left in torch mode on the floor you could be looking at problems. That said, crt rear projectors are an excellent choice right now. The fixed pixel sets are still catching up to crt quality. Hitachi makes several high quality crt based sets that can be found in the same price range as the Pioneer your looking at. Look at their Ultravision line. An Ultravision set will have an S in the model number. Bought one brand new off ebay for 1699, has HDMI input, ATSC tuner. The only thing on the set Im not wild about is the reflective screen. Might not be a good thing in a bright room.
