halen,
I read a review this month in Home Theater magazine and they were saying that the picture is a bit soft compared to the xbr1, even though the xbr1 could only input a 1080i signal and this new set can display a 1080p signal. The new set is significantly cheaper though. I don't know if they have fixed this green tint problem that shows up in black and white movies. This sounded like a big turn-off to me. This would make me tend to want the xbr2 if they have the green tint problem fixed. But, I'm waiting a year or so for the price to come down.
