Buy the Curtis Mathes for looks, but don't expect any better than RCA Chassis quality in a Roundie either. Fancy cabinetry, fancy warranty when new. Meh chassis. Want quality color TV, buy the best Zenith chassis in whatever cabinet. Buy engineering, buy reliability, buy things worth buying which aren't mediocre in a fancy cabinet. Even cheapie late Philco roundie had unique engineering (hybrid chassis) and great color for a lot less than a C/M ever did. Simple facts.
