Yeah, plasmas are stinkin' expensive, which sucks.

Regarding resolution: A couple days ago I watched an HDTV feed on a Loewe HD wide-screen CRT, inches away from the same feed on a Pioneer 43" plasma. The Loewe should have had the advantage, as it was HD resolution, and a slightly smaller screen, which our eyes usually perceive as being sharper than a bigger screen. However, the plasma kicked the Loewe's butt in displaying a sharper, more precise, more realistic image in every way. There were natural details in the color and texture to people's faces on the plasma that were glossed over or rendered more crude on the Loewe.
In some instances the detail seemed to be there in the Loewe, but it seemed fuzzier, more crude, and never made that leap to the looking-through-a-window vibe that the Pioneer had. (Which I attribute to the inherent lack of precicion involved in the older CRT ray gun/phosphor screen technology, vs the always precise fixed pixels of a plasma). The Loewe just looked like a really good TV. The Pioneer looked "real."
