Apparantly (the bloke in Richer Sounds) Sony's have come down in price of late as they have fallen behind the other manufacturers. If they will give you everything you want and / or need then it could be a good way to get a bargain, otherwise worth bearing in mind that the one you buy may be even further behind others in a year or two.
LG should be considered. Not a snob brand but they make a lot of the internals for the others which just have different cases nailed on them.
Richer Sounds do a fairly good selection and I've always found they are helpful, pretty knowledgeable, and don't tend to lead you up the garden like some retailers do. They also have a load all on the wall side by side so you can compare the pictures as you may prefer one to another just on personal preference.
