First of all, don't even worry about 1080. Most HD broadcasts are in 720p, most "upscaling" players really go to 720p, etc. 720 is the current sweet spot. Note that most of the games/DVD players/broadcasts that talk about 1080 are talking about 1080i, which is actually a lower rez than 720p. It gets confusing, sorry.

Yes, I can really see the difference. When my DVD player does its juju magic to my discs, they look like they were born to play on a big, widescreen TV. Can't wait until the little lemurs are old enough to watch Aliens with me. I set it to upscale to 720p, and away I go.
