Samsung 5685 vs. Mitsubishi 62525? Please Help!

I too am trying to decide between 2 sets. The Samsung 5685 vs. The Mitsu 62525. Both about the same price when you include the stand for the mitsu. Both are 2+ generation sets. What I like about the Samsung: Great picture, Great design, matte finish. What I don't like about the Samsung: Very wide due to the useless side speakers. Very tall. 58 1/4". Might be a bit tall for my cabinet.

About the Mitsu - 62" nice vs. 56" from Samsung. Nice HD picture too but something about it doesn't seem as dramatic as the Samsung? Can this be?

I'm trying to like the Mitsu more because of the 62" size and the fact that it measures 1" shorter than the Samsung which might fit my cabinet better. Also, the mitsu put the speakers on the bottom.

Please, I need some advice. I know they are both great sets. The guy at Magnolia video said he would buy the Samsung. He just thought it had a better overall picture. He also said that this is Samsung's 4th generation set. This is Mitsu's 1st (he said they originally came out with a DLP set a while back, but pulled it from the market).
