Plasma issues, is it worth it?

I recently purchased an Pioneer Elite 940HD 42" Plasma and it is my first plasma. I have to start by stating that I love the picture. But, I have the following issues; 1) I use a Niles IR Repeater, the plasma emits IR and screws with it. 2)Noise, this plasma on Standard Power setting hums/buzzes to a point of annoyance. 3)Glare, I have no choice but to place the TV across from a patio door. 4)HDMI conflict with DirecTV box. I realize that 4) can occur with any TV but my question is. Is the great picture worth the trade offs? Anyone having the same issues, have you decided to go LCD? Or am I being to picky?

My Panasonic is dead silent. Next to a window, no glare problems (no more or less than any others). No IR problems.

My dealer told me upfront : "just forget about the HDMI."

I had a friend that recently had glare and REALLY poor off axis veiwing with his new LCDs,- returned two, then went plasma.
