This sounds like the high end dilemma. Once you reach a certain level of performance you pay a lot more for a small improvement.
I haven't seen the xbr7 but I have seen the xbr8 and it is the best looking set I have seen in person. That said it was 3~4x the price of the set I have. However, on initial inspection it was visually apparent that the xbr8 was better in every way.
Just like in audio $4000 speakers don't sound 4x as good as $1000 ones.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I need help! I want a small pocket camcorder but I'm not sure which one to get. I don't want to fall into the hype of the Flip because I worry two hours won't be enough. What should I be looking for when considering a small camcorder and where can I get a good quality one with expandable memory? Thanks!"
