I would imagine everyone who wants the LOTR films would already have them on DVD. I'm sure loads of people will then rebuy them in HD but I don't really get why, they look good enough in SD.

It seems like quite a lot of money to spend for bit of an improvement in picture quality.

 I assure you, it's more thanjust a bit.  We fimnally got a 52" XBR4.  The first thing I did was pop in FotR EE to see how it looked in 480p, then upscaled to 1080p.  Their was a pretty noticeable diferent, but not much.  After that I put in PotC1 on Blu-Ray, and I was completely shocked at how amazing it looked. Upscaled LotR had nothing on PotC, so I know an HD version of LotR will easily put the DVD version to shame.
