Unfortunately you will always face this problem in the tv world. Undoubtedly the new models will be better and as the new models are using Neo-PDP technology they could be quite a step forward. However all of this costs so expect the new models to be a lot more expensive than the price you paid for yours. Our Panasonic rep has informed us that the big price rises from Panasonic are happening in March.

Panasonic have brought out new models in the first quarter for years. ( 8 in the model number is tied to 2008 ...7 to 2007 and so on. )
I've been drooling over the PZ80's since they came out , but they were too expensive at the time. After the price slashing of the last few months I jumped on one and Im glad I did.
I have no idea what the new sets would look like , but cant see how it could be that much better in picture quality than what I have , which Im very happy with.
The new plasmas will be thinner, have better black levels and use a lot less power but due to the feeble pound and strong yen, they will be a lot more expensive. Without the currency problems, I would have waited, there's been plenty of press about neoPDP for months now and it's much more of a revolution than an evolution this year. However you have got a bargain so be happy, I'm still happy with my panny and it's well into it's fourth year now.
Just picked up my 50PZ80 for £999 today, and yes I knew there were newer better models just around the corner. There are ALWAYS newer better models not too far off, no matter when you buy.
i got my srt a few weeks ago for 895... i know people who paied £1400 for it only a few months before.. be glad you got yourself a good deal... i doubt the picture will be a massive improvment on the pz80, and the cost will be a lot more.
