Which One

[sonic2000]

This weekend I'm going to get a new plasma instead of a LCD. Just want opinions on which one:
Panasonic TH-50PZ700U from local retailer or;
Panasonic TH-50PE700U from COSTCO
Spec's on Panasonic's web site say there identical, just curious what everyone here thinks.
Thanks in advance

When we were shopping for plasma's, we ended up with the Samsung 5054, we also checked out these. I think the Costco ones had extra inputs or something like that. I would go to Costco and look at the one they have and bring the list of specs from the other store, or just go the Panasonic website and check them there. They might have the specs for both.
It could be that the different model numbers is just a way for them to designate which sets are sold at Costco.

Many manufacturers just change the model number for Costco/Sams/BJs/etc so that you cannot force the regular retailers to price match. We cannot pricematch that, it has a different model number...

Yep. Samsung did it for the LN-txx65. for Best Buy. It is LN-txx66 at B.B.
