Which 50" TV should I buy?

Choice:

Toshiba plasma, 50HP86, for $2000 + tax
Panasonic plasma 50PX60 for $2500 + tax (2 month old demo model, regular price $3000)
Sony SXRD LCD $2299 + tax (only one with 1080)

I'm sick of replacing bulbs every year on my present Panasonic LCD. (got 2000 hours on my last bulb) at a cost of $450 for a new bulb. I'm leaning towards plasma for that reason, so anyone here have experience with either the Toshiba plasma model or the Panasonic? Toshiba is $500 cheaper but probably not the same quality screen. Panny is a demo that has been on in the store every day for 2 months. I don't care about blue ray or 1080P since I only watch regular HD TV.

Answer:
Of the three I'd take the Sony. Above the Sony's I would take a new 120Hz Sharp Aquos D92 series. (The D62 series is quite good, and there are great deals on them, as they are phasing out, but I still take an Aquos over any other LCD)
