Default OK...time to upgrade

I jumped on the HD bandwagon many years ago when I purchased my Panasonic TH-42PHD5 monitor. When I purchased this unit it cost as much as the current Pioneer 60" set.

Now It's time to upgrade and I am looking at either the Pioneer PHD-5010 or the Panasonic TH-50PZ85U. I read some reviews on the Pioneer that the digital optic out does not have 5.1 capability but the web site states that the output is dolby. Can anyone confirm for sure if this is a Dolby 5.1 output? I really couldn't see any digital optic cable that would not have 5.1 capability??

I am leaning towards the Pioneer since it will do 72hz and has the cable card slot. Could go for the Panasonic if it is confirmed that it will do true 1080p/24 but not sure how much longer I want to wait.

Any other thoughts that might help me decide.
