Variable TV mount.

Is there such thing as a tilting TV mount that can accommodate both a 65" and/or 80" flat panel?
I have a 65" Panasonic plasma on the way, and I plan on wall mounting it. However, I'm familiar with the "upgradeitis" beast, and can imagine moving to an 80" set in the next 3-4 years.
If possible, I'd install the wall mount once, then simply swap out the TV. However, the majority of mounts I've seen in brick and mortar stores only accommodate a relatively narrow size range (e.g., 50-55" or 65-70").
Amazon has a Sanus mount that (supposedly) can accommodate 26-90" http://www.amazon.com/Sanus-VMPL3-B-Mount-Displays-Black/dp/B0008GP880
Any opinions and/or advice from the polkies?

Have you ever thought of stickihg with your 65" and just eventually upgrade to a projector for anything larger? Maybe run both like some people do and have a ceiling dropped screen over your tv when you want to use the projector? That way you can just skip the 80 and go to the 100+? just food for thought.HT: M5510-Prox2/PN51E550/NR708/M282(3)/RTi A7/CSi A6/FXi A6/DSWPro660x2/PS3/HTPC

Yeah, I have definitely considered it. If I had a dedicated theater room I'd be more inclined to do that, but my living room is also my theater room (currently). I know I'm stuck in my old school ways of thinking where projectors used to have a relatively inferior PQ.Polk Fronts: RTi A7's

Take a look at how this guy got it to work.
If I was you as stated I would skip upgrading to a 80" TV. If I am ever going to go larger than my 60 it will be to a PJ and keep the 60 for normally TV viewing."....not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted."

I love seeing dedicated builds like that. Makes me wish my lease would hurry up and end so i could go house shopping.HT: M5510-Prox2/PN51E550/NR708/M282(3)/RTi A7/CSi A6/FXi A6/DSWPro660x2/PS3/HTPC
