Plasma or LED???

I got my 55" series 8000 for $1800 last year around this time. Best buy in NE Calgary.

It may come down to what you watch. Plasmas refresh rates are still better than led. If there are lots of sports in your viewing agenda maybe plasmas the way to go.
Before we bought i stopped in at visions to ask a few questions. They were slow so the guy set up the demo wall so I could see the difference between the refresh rates myself. Learned alot in that 20mins. We ended up with a Samsung 55"led due more to the lighting conditions and viewing angles in the family room.

Pretty much the only thing I watch is sports, action movies, and play video games, so refresh rate is important, but I have no absolutely zero issue with my LED. I agree that plasma still has the edge on refresh over LED but unless you are in a store and actually comparing them side by side you will not be able to tell the difference. Once you get it in your house on a wall, with no other TVs beside them to compare it will look amazing. It's really hard to go wrong with any TV these days.
