I just went from CRT: NEC XG 85 with Vigatec scaler via SDI to the new Marantz VP12 S3 in anticipation of my G68 and G98. Have yet to receive them, but I am more then happy. This will be the winning combo for me. I know from many other DLP reviewers that it is down to the Sharp 12000 and the Marantz VP12 S3. When squeezed for a choice, people tended to prefer the Marantz, but for more money I think. It also has the auto color calibrator, a nice feature. I am very happy with it.

Silence is overrated!
