I will offer no option except that CRT's do have the edge, (I also own the Sony 11HT). The best advice is to go to various dealers, check the prices as to what you can afford and make your own decision.
I will say that setup of CRT's while more complicated is way over blown. If you are a tweaker, you can build a color meter and do a pretty fair job, also some of the other forums out there can help.
Two minor points.
LCD/DLP/DILA - setup very easy but bulb life short (1K to 2K hours on average)
CRT - setup is more complicated, but CRT life in the 10K to 20K range.
Hope this helps.
