Westinghouse 47 At Crutchfield Only?

Can anyone explain why I can purchase a 42 inch Westinghouse HD LCD monitor
at a local retailer in central NJ, but if I want the 47 incher, my only
choice is to deal with Crutchfield online? Westinghouse's retail locator
states there is none in my area. I want the 47, but prefer not to make a
large purchase this way.

My guess would be that there is a limited supply at the moment ( Crutchfield
is out already) and the first batch probably went to the biggest (?) account
that Westinghouse has for these sets. I've been waiting for Best Buy to get
stock but they can't estimate when they'll have them I finally decided to
order one from Cf on Friday night before they ran out. The free "white
glove" shipping and the "sale" price make it a really good buy IMHO. People
on the AVS forums have said that the shipping is excellent and I haven't
read of any new owner that has had a problem with shipping damage.

I haven't read anything negative, but with my luck, the set will be
defective and I would like to avoid the potential hassle of sending it back.

I'll let you know how it goes when I get mine.
