It is important to be very careful. That price you saw is the current price for a brand-new HL-R5087W, which is last year's model. There is a big difference between these two sets. The HL-S line is considered a very substantial improvement over the HL-R line, and you can tell just by looking at the two side by side from the same feed. (Similarly, be careful that you're not comparing HL-S5086W to HL-S5087W ... those two sets look identical with the screens off, but there is a very noticeable different in picture quality with the screens on.)
