Worth trading up from an ae500 - ae700 ?

I have had a Panny Ae500 for over a year now and have been very happy with it. I know the ae700 has been out for a while now and has had excellent reviews.

Is it worth trading up ? I am presuming an ae900 will be available at the end of the year

I`m really thinking about the release of the Xbox 360 / PS 3 and getting the best possible display for the HD games they support. The Ae500 does support 720p (Which most of the games will be initially)

What are peoples thoughts ?

Interesting one, personally, I suggest that if your 500 is VB/artifact free then perhaps you should retain it until HD is readily available and then see how it fares with it, before shelling out on a new PJ.

Only in my opinion of course.....

Pete.
