Buying late model Samsung DLP rear projection TV?

Is it worth considering buying a late model slim Samsung DLP rear projection TV on the used market? Flat panel TVs are coming down in price, but a used DLP is still cheaper. I am aware that a new bulb will cost $150.

I bought the 67" almost a year ago and am just as thrilled with it today as the day it arrived.

Should be under a thousand, otherwise competing with new 720p plasmas that are priced low in a 1080p world.

They provide long life and from what I understand a great picture. Bill
