The reason I prefer the Detolfs over Billy is the ability to view my TFs from different angles. Really allows the light to get around them, not being too shaded or unviewable from certain directions.

I think this is the best looking display that IKEA has. Shelves are moveable & you can add more if you want.
I want to go the whole hog and invest in these babies

Having a premium display of a single detolf in the living room does sound good but for me that's where my entire display is.
that's a good point, I have a dark brown billy and one of the biggest issues I have is being able to see figures up the back.
I never could have got that one, it would be the only white piece of furniture in the house. would have clashed with everything.I did look at it in the store, I find the wood panneling does restrict the view of the shelves a bit much. Overal brightness of it though and lighting would make it a lot easier to see detail without extra lighting.
this is my shelving as it is at the moment.
I do have a couple small lights in it that I forgot to turn on for the pictures above. I am also thinking about buying some Mains power led strings to put in there.
I have a Billy and 3 Detolfs. Detolfs are best IMO as you can see what's in them. Mine are all lit up and look great. Would love to post pics but cannot post attachments. Plus my Detolfs were only $99 each as opposed to their normal $169 (which I wouldn't pay).
