What are your opinions of a Sony 34XBR970?

Well, the guy didn't come down enough on price for me to drive 140+mi round trip. I'll keep an eye out for any of the SFP widescreen CRTs and grab the next one that comes along. The ideal one being a 34XBR960. There's 2 4:3 SFP sets too IIRC, I'd grab one of those for the right price. I did however, at the same time, find a 30HS420 right in my back yard. It was only 12 miles away. It spent it's whole life (built Dec. 2004) in a cabinet with doors and I would guess it has less than 50 hours on it. There is not one scratch anywhere and came with perfect original remote and book. I know it's not a SFP tube but the picture is outstanding and the price was right at 100$. I peeked inside with a flashlight and there is NO dust settled on the main chassis board which seems impossible but it's true, it only has a very minimal amount of dust collected on a 3" run of the anode wire right at the end by the boot. It may even have less than 50 hours, it was in a very upscale home in the downstairs rec. room, not the living room. I'll post a few pics later on. Did I do alright? The thing looks great in HD, that's for sure! Thanks for all the input so far.
