New TV?

So, I’ve been thinking about getting a new TV for well over two years now.
Originally, I was going to be somewhat limited by the size of the TV cabinet above the fireplace in my house in Utah. Since moving, I don’t have that particular limitation any more.
I’m still stuck between whether I should get a 42″ or 46″ HDTV. My current viewing distance is about 11 feet. I’ve read a number of articles on size versus viewing distance. This article from Crutchfield seems to support the larger size, though I’ve also seen articles that recommended the smaller size.
I’m leaning toward the 46″, what do you think?
