Upconversion Dilemma

I am trying to determine if buying a HDTV with upcoversion to 1080p is worth the extra expense?

My source of programming will be Direct TV and an over the air antenna. I know that I will have to subscribe to HDTV programming.

I do not have any HDTV or BlueRay DVDs. I know I can buy a DVD player that will upconvert Non HDTV DVDs/CDs to 1080p.

That leaves all of the over the air DVT channels (future) and those Non HDTV channels on DirectTV.

Will the upconversion feature of a HDTV set (with that feature) provide picture quality worth paying the difference between one (a HDTV) with and one without the upconversion feature?

I just do not want to end up watching my widescreen HDTV and have STD DVT programs make everyone look fat or widescreen programs still have a black strip on the top and bottom.

The difference in cost between a Sony kdl-46W3000 and a Vizio VW47LFHDTV10A is considerable.

I prefer Sony; but I have to justify the difference in cost to my spouse.
