Answering that is hard.
What you would be best doing, is going to a dealer who has the current Pioneer 427 and 5000MX, and see if they can hook up Pioneer's BR player (which I imagine they should have), then you'll be able to see the difference.
Since the 427 is like all other 42's (1024x768), then you will be sacrificing more horizontal detail - 1920 pixels squeezed into 1024 (just like HD squeezes 1280) - than vertical. Research has suggested horizontal loss is less of an issue than vertical, but I know I couldn't find a suitable aspect for the movie (V for Vendetta) I brought with me a while back, on the 427.
Part of the diagonal main menu was missing.
But plenty of members here have no such complaints with their 42"ers, so it must be that I'm fussier than they are.
You're the only one who can decide which side of the fussy fence you stand behind, and seeing a few panels now like the ones suggested above will give you greater understanding and a benchmark from which you can compare and make your decision.
