I guess you could argue it either way, but it comes down to what you're willing to spend. I feel that it I would be spending an extra $500 for a feature that I will not be able to fully utilize, while at the same time the picture quality of the 720p is so far superior to what I have now that I would be nothing less than amazed with the image. Again, some people would be willing to pay for it; however, I would not. If in five years the capability is there to broadcast a 1080p signal and I feel that I need something new, then I'll move this to my bedroom, and get something new for out there.

Here's the detail as I understand them as far as resolution goes.

720p - 720 lines of resolution, progressive, 60 frames per second.
1080i - 1080 lines of resolution, interlaced, 30 frames per second
1080p - 1080 lines of resolution, progressive, 60 frames per second

Cnet has a decent buyers guide to help you understand some of the technology better and help you make an informed decision.
