How important is 10-bit color, really?

I really think UHD (unless you are planning to game at such a resolution and have the hardware to) will not be worth it for a few years. This years uhd sets will not meet the standards and next years may not either (the standards are still not known). Once they do release you will be looking at first gen attempts at that standard and large improvements are nearly always seen in the first few cycles of such things.

How important is 10 bit color, hard to say as cinemas apparently get both 8 bit and 10 bit dcp's yet I never notice a difference. I'm guessing unless a pro calibration it will likely be rather minor (and with one it will still be minor but maybe slightly less so). But this is a guess.
