Not yet, SLL, but for a very good reason. Last November, when I returned from the cruise, Runco asked if they could wait until December to deliver the CL-700 (which I was able to "trade up" from the CL-500 I won at a very attractive price) because of the limited availablity of this popular model. I told them no problem, especially since I didn't want to have to swap out my SONY VW10HT during the holiday season.
When January came I found out that there was going to be a new Runco model introduced (the CL-710). It was announced at CES 2003 and is a 3rd generation DLP unit with the HD-2 "Mustang chip" and a host of other optical improvements over the HD-1 based ubits. Even though the CL-710 costs more than the CL-700 and won't be available until April or so, Sam Runco graciously said I could upgrade at no additional cost since they had delayed delivery of my original unit. A no brainer if I ever saw one!
So the VW10HT keeps chugging along while I wait for my new projector to be delivered some time in the late spring. My daughter and her family will be the recipient of my trusty old SONY once I make the switch (assuming that the CL-710 blows away the VW10HT - which I fully expect it to do since both are native HD units and the CL-710 is a newer technology.)
So, stay tuned. As soon as something happens I'll be reporting all about it.
Take care.
