^I also have the 5050 (for ~3 years now... and using very similar screen size and viewing distance) and generally agree w/ Josh.
I would add though that the 5050 might be worth getting even (or maybe especially) if you really only plan to use it a couple hours everyday... because the lamp will then likely last the 4-5 years before you might consider another upgrade that should be better than the LS12000 -- and you would've already saved 50% of the LS12000's cost toward that upgrade or to spent on some other upgrade now.
@JasonRoer, what PJ are you upgrading from? Maybe that would help get a better sense of whether the 5050 would be satisfying enough instead of the LS12000.
One thing. I thought the LS12000 would have roughly the same flexibilities as the 5050 though, so that aspect probably won't be significantly different AFAIK.
