Thank you David Chase for making it so obscure that I feel bad for hating you at first.

After stewing on it a bit today, that is my sentiment.

Tony's death seemed inevitable early on in the series, and I thought it would be a fitting end to the story. We got to see what leads up to a hit throughout the series, little guys, big guys, and for many different reasons. We saw Junior's downfall. But the big picture is of Tony, and the whole story was perhaps the telling of his hit; what led up to it (if indeed one believes him to be dead.)

It would definitely be more dignified to not truly witness it, or witness it as he would, as fans of the show have grown attached to this character, and do empathize for him, despite his nature. It certainly is more powerful.

Now, just got to set aside $500 for the DVDs.
