Thou dost sucketh!
Thanks to all, even Jamhead!

Andy - There are some pictures floating around here somewhere but they're scattered in multiple threads for multiple reasons. Here are a couple of older pictures to give you a sense of things.
The front of my room looks essentially like this though the L&R speakers are now much further apart (nearly as wide as there room will allow), they're also inverted (tweeter on bottom, woofer on top) and the 64-inch fixed frame screen has been replaced with an 80-inch electric drop-down screen.
The rear of my room looks essentially like this though the seating has changed and now there's a 5010 mounted to the beams instead of a HC720.
Keith - While the 3010 and 5010 may be similar in a few areas, the two become vastly different in others and that's why I chose it. There is a night and day difference in black level and contrast between the two, the 5010 has frame interpolation whereas the 3010 does not, the 5010 has larger (and I believe faster) LCD panels, a 12v trigger out and lens shift. I either needed or just plain wanted all of those features so the higher price was well worth it to me.

That's not exactly true. The 5010 is a virtual flamethrower. It's so bright, you could almost use it outside during the day. LOL
Seriously though, my room is anything but light-controlled and with my older 720, watching anything during daylight hours was usually difficult because the picture got washed out. Just messing around with the 5010 this afternoon I can already tell that's a non-issue. I'm really looking forward to the sun going down tonight because I'm expecting an amazing image.

I was referring to black level, not total lumens. Yes, the thing is a light cannon, which is why it would be on the top of my list if it were to ever drop in my price range....but 2.5k is a little much for me now.
Really good black levels during night time movie watching, and enough light output for football games during the afternoon.
You truly do suck Zing.
