Something is wacked... You say
the LEDs are rated at over 100,000 hours

Either way, the key is you did not want to deal with lamp replacement and are satisfied with your LED based RP regardless of the loss of black. I think we all agree that those LEDs will last significantly longer than a lamp. My concern was that other readers might get the impression that lamps don't last long at all and that simply is not real world experience for ALL consumer lamp based RP in the field that you will never read about since they are not having a problem.

extended warranties specifically exclude the replacement labor/parts costs for projection HDTV lamps. Am I 'out-of-date?'

Depends on the policy, many do and as always - make sure you actually read that in the contract.
