Thus when colour correcting, etc, what you see when editing and previewing on an LCD panel is going to be closer to what the audience sees than if you used a CRT.

True, but given the great variance in LCD and Plasma panels contrast and color balance I would not rely solely on LCD for CC.

I'll stick with the CRTs. Even if a particular users LCD is not in spec, they are trained or familiar with the look and feel of their display as is. Therefore, as long as I stay in spec during post, the view will look the same according to what they are used to seeing. After all, that's why we have a spec in the first place.
