Buying late model Samsung DLP rear projection TV?

Is it worth considering buying a late model slim Samsung DLP rear projection TV on the used market? Flat panel TVs are coming down in price, but a used DLP is still cheaper. I am aware that a new bulb will cost $150.

For me available screen size, great picture, visibility in high daylight conditions not to mention affordability were the important attributes leading to purchase of an LED-based DLP rear projector. Off axis viewing hasn't been an issue at all in our great room.
