Our local HHGregg store have a couple of walls of them of all sizes and a lot of space in front of all of them. Some you could get in front of one you were interested in and actually step back 7-10 feet and see how model 1 compared to model b from a distance. Hard to do that in a place like Sam's or Walmart where stuff is crammed together.
If anyone were looking for a unit that would be a good place to start to get some ideas about specific models and such.
