LCD Monitor Quest

I ended up with a little mad money to spend this Christmas, and am considering buying a new LCD monitor. I’m looking at two right now:
19″ Sony Monitor (SDM-HS93/B) [ product details ]
at Circuit City for $349.99 after rebates.
Adjusted for tax, shipping, and rebates, the total out of pocket for me would be about $395.
19″ Princeton Monitor (VL1916) [ product details ]
at Costco for $379.99 after rebates.
Adjusted for tax, shipping, and rebates, the total out of pocket for me would be about $415.
They have almost identical specs:
700:1 contrast ratio
250 cd/m2 brightness
1280x1024 resolution
0.294 Dot Pitch
25 ms response time
170/170 viewing angle
The question is… do I go for Sony’s brand name or Costco’s return policy?
