Panny TH-42PZ85U vs Sammy PN42B450

[azereus]

Hi all,

Still searching for a new tv and still leaning towards my first plasma.

While I'm tempted to go 50", my room is a bit small so I'm leaning towards a 42". Price is, unfortunately, a primary consideration.

What I'm currently looking at:

1) Samsung PN42B450 - It's ~ $900. Love the look of the bezel, picture seems good as best as I can tell. Appearantly this years B models use better panels than last years?

2) Panasonic TH-42PZ85U - It's ~ $1300 (top end of price range for me). I'm assuming this is a 2008 model. Reviews seem pretty good.

Any thoughts or opinions?

Thanks

Edit: I guess I should note that I'm aware that the Samsung is not 1080P. I don't think that will really matter on a 42"?
