DLP vs Plasma vs LCD

Hi everybody. I'm finally ready to upgrade my venerable Pioneer Elite 62" widescreen RPTV from 1995 that has served me beautifully and still looks awfully good for movies through my Camelot Roundtable MKII DVD player via S-video (it predates Component connections). I plan to keep the Roundtable, which has a VGA output, and upgrade to a Hi-def TV soon, having just taken delivery of a Direct-TV Hi-def DVR, which also now looks great on the old RPTV via S-video.

I'm looking at the Samsung 61" 1080P LED based DLP for about $2,000, and just had a salesman try to convince me that the new $8,000 Pioneer Elite 62" 1080P Plasma is WAAAAY better than the 1080P Samsung DLP. He said the upsampling in the Samsung is really crappy, and WAAAAAY better in the Pioneer Elite, yielding better off-angle viewing, three dimensionality, color, etc.

Who is right here? Why not just buy the Samsung, which everybody seems to love (according to Amazon feedback)? I can afford much more, but why? Is Plasma that much better? All comments will be much appreicated. I do keep my TV's for a very long time, as you can see.
