Is it worth upgrading DVD to progressive scan?

I just purchased an HDTV with the ability to play progressive scan (480p). I currently own a Yamaha regular DVD player. Is progressive scan really worth upgrading to or should I wait on HDDVD?

Don't wait, get something now and if you need to, sell it and upgrade later. You can pickup a Sony 9000ES for around 800 bucks now. Angela

I'd say the image is more film-like. I use the Panasonic RP91 with progressive feeding my Pioneer Elite. The Pioneer has a very good doubler so the difference is slight but it is better using the DVD player in progressive mode. It's close though. Hope this helps.
