.. yes, good selection plus distance is good for 720p.

Auden,
Picked up my PX80 @ Sears a few weeks ago for a steal. If your budget is $1K, go w/ the PX80 and don't look back. Do a search for the PX80 and you'll see a thread that shows my similar dialog, as well as some impressions that you might find interesting. For what it's worth, the TV seems to get better and better each day.
Good Luck.

Unlikely you'll see PZ80 for less than $1200. Costco might get there with their FD18.
At 12', you might want to look at a larger display, not necessarily 1080. Panasonic has a 58" 720p set that's less than $2K, as does LG. In the end, though, it's hard to justify spending twice as much for just eight more inches.
Sears ran a promotion before Christmas that added the choice of (1) an additional 5% discount on Sears card versus (b) 12-month no-payment/interest financing. And Sears will usually give a discount if you buy it on a Sears card anyway.
Have read reports here that Panasonic is not currently shipping this model, but there are so many ads for it that I think that claim may be premature. Panasonic may not make any money on this display, but it will help keep their production lines going.
