Sony Bravia KDL15G2000 vs Toshiba 15V330DB

I've been looking at reviews of both (Sony Bravia KDL15G2000 and Toshiba 15V330DB) but other than one reviewer stating they had aspect problems with the Sony, cannot make my mind up which is better.

The defining factor for me is definately aspect ratio, because I currently have a 19 inch Technika which sees fit to take any 16:9 input I give it (SCART or built-in DTV), crop that to 4:3 and then blow the cropped version back up to 16:9, making the image look horribly zoomed and cutting text around the sides off - practically making the TV unusable.

I don't mind too much if, as the reviewer said, "grey bars appear at the top and bottom", but I just want to make sure it shows the entire image and doesn't do a Technika-special-crop before I buy either of them, so does anyone here own one, or has anyone used one?
