As you can see, it's just a matter of preference. Personally I would never even consider buying a mh without slides no matter what the cost and I think the majority of buyers are like me but there are some that are fine with it. Just be prepared that if you ever want to sell it, it will have to be real cheap and even then you might not be able to sell it (e.g. 15 years ago, a high end large screen rear-projection TV could have cost you $10k - now you'd probably have a hard time selling it for $100. I'm not even sure if you could give it away ...)
