I only added the SGI as an aside. As for the perception of value, I just
offered an alternative to buying the Panasonic panel. Is this so wrong?
Obviously by the responses I've got.

Phill, hello? Are you and I having two different conversations? When
have I "attacked" you in public and/or insulted you in public
during
this conversation? I'd love to see what you think I have written that
conforms with the above.
