Panasonic th-50px60u plasma -vs- Sony kds-r50xbr1?


Hello,
First,
I do not want to start another argument on here.
Second, I have been reading with great interest about the new Panasonic TH-50PX60U 50" plasma tv that claims a 10,000 to 1 contrast ratio, 28.99 billion diplayable colors, 2 sets of HDMI and component video inputs, significant improvements over the TH-50PX50U, etc.
It is still a 1366 x 768 set.
I have never saw the picture on the Panasonic before.
I am basically stuck between choosing this Panasonic plasma tv and the Sony KDS-R50XBR1 or the Sony KDS-R60XBR1 SXRD RPTV's. The Sonys are 1080 x 1920 sets.
Does anyone own or has saw the picture on the new Panasonic TH-50PX60U yet?
If so, give me details.
Has anyone compared it to the Sony KDS-R50 or 60 XBR SXRD sets yet?
If so, how do they compare on HD material?
Which is better for standard definition such as digital satellite and dvd, etc?
Which would you most recommend?
Any answers and comments would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

FWIW A friend of mine just bought the Sony 1080p RPTV for his living room and now is completely dissappointed with his true HT as his projector is only 720p.... He says the pic on his Sony is so much sharper it's scary. I haven't seen them both as he now lives a ways away, but trust his video opinion.
