Also, be VERY careful with comparing sets in-store as all are calibrated in different ways for different reasons. To do it properly you would need to calibrate ALL of the displays you're comparing and put side by side and take all the other factors into account (lighting, input material) to make an accurate comparison. Even then some have been on display longer than others and even TV to TV within the same model can have variances because of these. Bottom line, standing in front of a display at Best Buy for a few minutes doesn't really tell you anything.
Thanks Jer. I think I probably wore out my welcome at the Best Buy Magnolia room standing in front of the televisions. I also spent more time than I can count calling my buddies who are high end gear dudes and reading AV forums. The consensus on the Plasmas is pretty universal. The room that this TV will be hung is flooded with light from both directions so I think I am gonna go with the F8000. I may be taking a bit of a chance but so far I really like what I've seen on this set and i really like the price. Thank you everybody for your input.

Has anybody seen the 4K sets yet.....I'm not a Sony fan but wow!
