The trick is to find a place that still has a display like that set up. It's much easier to tell when they are side-by-side, than it is when the different types are on different sides of the department.
So... It certainly seems worth it to me, but I'm kinda crazy like that.

What you saw was probably a good TV but not truely indicative of what all LED LCDs are as plenty, especially edge lit ones can be crappy. The plasma next to it might not have been the best plasma either.
The thing with TruMotion is that it artificially pumps out extra frames by doubling them for the higher refresh rates and it might not look good for every source considering the original framerate of the material. I know some people who get dizzy with TruMotion.
Again, brightness and vibrance are selling features of Plasmas but what puts them ahead is black levels where local diming full array LED backlit LCD TVs can approach but usually not beat.
TV is all subjective too though so yeah, just go look at them yourself and try the various things you do most often or watch most often on them if you are able to do so before you make a choice.
