I have the 55" of the first TV you listed since Nov. Love it! Course, I was still rocking a tube TV before that, haha.

Was on sale for 1599. Think it's back up to 1899 now. Size probably makes it a no go for you, but all the other features are the same and I've had no problems.

Was worried about the curve being a gimmick, but I really like it. Plus I have it in a corner, so it actually kinda works for the space I have.

Also wondered if I should just wait for the 4k's to come down, or just get one then, but I wanted the higher frame rate and the 3D so I went with that. Shoot, I lived with a tube for so long, I can probably deal with less def for a while if I don't have the funds for an upgrade. Plus, I'm not sure how much difference it makes on the smaller screens, and I really can't fit anything bigger anywhere in the place I have now anyway.

Regarding frame rate, a lot depends on the feed you have and where the show is coming from (IE through what networks). I've seen some commercials and shows that look wildly different not just based on the TV model, but on how the feed is set up, how the show is being broadcast etc. However, one of the biggest advantages is gaming, as those always come through at the same data level depending on your console and connection.

That's my laymans knowledge anyway, I'm sure someone will come on here and correct or fine tune my knowledge a bit on frame rates. Which could be a good thing, I'd like to know more.
