Pioneer vs. Panasonic plasma


I'm in the market for a HD set and have been looking at LCD and Plasma and am probably going to buy a Pioneer plasma. The Pioneer (5070) just seems to have a better picture than any other plasma and most other TV's that I've seen.
Anyone else have any experiences to share on these sets?
Thanks,
Bill

Aren't current generation Plasmas up to 60,000 to 80,000 hours to 1/2 britness?
These are the top two brands and I agree with 2chnlben that Pioneer is the top in the industry. Everybody seems to be saying Pioneer is the best. That may explain why they cost a bit higher than the rest.
Mr_Bill,

I believe that the only differences between the Panasonic 60U and the 600U are the PC inputs.

You can check http://www.panasonic.com for the info under the Television section - tech specs.

If you really want somewhat better quality and want a Panasonic, you may want to wait for the 1080P sets that should be out soon.

Good Luck,
