If the difference in picture quality is important and noticable to you by all means get the higher resolution setup. I have a High-Def Sony XBR 16:9 34" CRT set and with HD content the picture is amazing. It is in fact better than the same HD content on my 42" plasma but from a distance and to my eyes the difference isn't huge. Of course I'm comparing apples to oranges in this case with a 34" CRT vs a 42" plasma. But in terms of overall enjoyment factor (performance / price ratio) I would take the 42" EDTV plasma over the 34" HDTV CRT. If I could justify the 2x cost to step up to HD plasma I would but in my case I can't see paying the price delta.

I'm not that much into video performance like I am with audio. Some people just 'enjoy the music' but I am easily annoyed by small short comings in audio gear performance. I'm not as sensitive to video as I just 'enjoy the movie' or whatever is showing.

My plan is to keep the EDTV plasma for a couple years or so as my main screen then move it to the master bedroom once I can afford a larger HDTV plasma - or whatever the prevailing flat panel technology is in the lead a few years from now - maybe LCD.
