The 625 line standard has been with us an awefull long time as has the CRT. It follows then that there has to be getting on for 50 years of development and product improvement in CRT production and design to get us to where we are today. Presumably todays CRT TVs are pretty much state of the art (as long as you dont buy cheap junk).
I've got a similar spec Sony to you. I bought it about 8 years ago, and, TBH, in terms of colour reproduction, it beats most of the LCDs and Plasmas I've seen. Obviously, it isn't HD, so can't match the resolution of HD stuff, but, TBH, I don't find the difference that great.
