Yeh, but I'll happily pay a premium for a TV with soundbar quality integrated, like an E7 with 2" beautifully integrated under the screen, or Sony's voodoo speakers in the screen.Maybe they have cut costs in some other way, although you say the E was more expensive. Guess it's all down to the price point and what can be reduced without the consumer noticing. Built in soundbar implies more than 2 speakers so maybe that's the extra cost.
ps: I have an old small Sony TV in the garage which although small has still nice sound because it has **shock horror** front firing speakers!
