Mitsubishi WD-73736 vs. WD-73835

I have searched and searched and so far have not been able to find a comparison of these two models. The 736 model is available for $1900 including stand. The 835 is available for $3000 without stand. So, big difference in pricing, but what is the major differences between the units? Has anybody done a head-to-head comparison?

I don't mind spending for the best as long as the value is there for the extra $$s. So is the 835 worth the 50%+ additional cost?

Thanks for input and opinions.
