For those that have actually seen the AT P-2000 in person, can you characterize its color/finish?

Will: Take a look at my suggestions that you didn't include in your quotes of my suggestions, and you will see another option to solving your questions...

Did you ever ask RAF on this issue which you thought so important? If so, what did he say about the differences?

"Pioneer Elite Pro-45 Rear Projection Monitor "

Interesting side note...I had the same decision to make between Elite and regular. I bought a SDP50 and have completed 5 years of glorious hassle free use--I hope I get get to 10. I still prefer it over my HD-Ready display for regular TV.

I guess this supports my non-scientific perception that based on what I've read in the posts above the 950 would be just fine. Just like in the case of the TV the 950 is pushing my budget and the extra cost is hard to justify especially when the pre/pro features change so frequently that pre/pros don't seem to be a long term investment.
