What is the best 42"plasma Panasonic or Pioneer?


I am searching already for one year to buy a great home cinema package.
I am looking for a plasma prepared for High Def. with DVI/HDMI port for the best picture i can get. The problem is that i am confused between the new Pioneer PDP-434 HDE and the Panasonic Th-42PHD6UY , please help me i dont know which one to choose?

By the way i am looking for a great Universal DVD player(DVD-A and SACD) and ilink for the best sound. Firstival i was decline for the Pioneer DV-757Ai and the VSA-AX10i, but when i saw the picture in a Panasonic plasma i wasnt impressed, so if some body knows a better package, please tell me ?

My budget is 20.000 US/20.000 EUR/14.000 pounds.

You know, I wasn;t paying much attention since I was just browsing, but go to AVS forum and you will find some FAQs on plasma TVs that will give you what you need. I will admit that I liked the Elite an awful lot when I saw it at Tweeters, but I am also cynical enough to believe that they have tweaked the Elite to look better and justify the price since they sell them both. I did not go into several stores, tho.
Over on avsforum.com they say that the Elite is the same as the HD Pioneer with a different case, FWIW. Just $3k more.
