Sony KD34XBR960 - CRT HD set questions

Just saw one of these once-famous "Super Fine Pitch" (increased horizontal resolution) sets at the local Habitat ReStore for $55, just after I got a Panasonic CT27HL14J HD-CRT there, with remote for $15. I was planning to upgrade the 1991 20" stereo Panasonic set in the bedroom to HD with the newly-acquired Panasonic CRT-HD but its also a 4:3 set.

My question is: Is it worth taking a chance on this or should I hold out for a better specimen? Would It be worth moving my 2004 Toshiba 30HF84 to the bedroom instead, since it has worked for the past year without issues*.

These Sony CRT-HD's got some pretty favorable reviews. This particular one looks like it has a few bruises and is missing its pencil-box door, likely due to its weight and bulk. It also consumes 270 watts

*except for a very slight geometric distortion, which these Toshibas were infamous for
