Of the Samsung PN60E7000 and the Panasonic TCP60ST50, which one do you think is a better overall television set, WITHOUT regards to price? Both have gotten great reviews and I am looking to purchase one of the two sets.

Why was this tv not given a top pick.
From the 8000 plasma model is the evolution kit integration. The plasma 7000 does not come with evolution kit input which is schedule to release next year. Samsung says the kit be able to upgrade the OS on the tv.
The E7000 also comes with the evolution kit integration per Samsung's web page (though it's not obvious) and more importantly it's on my E7000.
I debated between the E7000 and GT50 and went with the E7000 because of its magnificent video processor and the stand. I feel Panasonic's stand is cheap (plasticky).
HT usually publishes the calibration settings of the sets they review, however I can't seem to find them for this one in the article. Can you please point me in the right direction?
Thank you very much
