Well it depends.
1. Do the current 3D glasses give you a headache?
2. Do you find anything wrong with the colour reproduction in 3D?
3. Can you wait for a new TV until next year?

1. No. I don't plan on sitting 8 hours straight in front of the TV with the glasses though. 2-3 hours max depending on what I'm watching. I did about 30 minutes at Best Buy in front of their display unit and the glasses seem fine.
2. Not yet, but I've only demoed a TV for half an hour. It's going to be hard to get any other interaction with a unit outside of an electronics store because no one I know has one. The colors look fine. The 3D pops as well as it does in the theater.
3. Probably not. I want a new set for football season, as I'm currently nursing an old 32" 720P off brand TV that has a slight amount of permanent burn in on the left side. Best I could probably do would be to wait for Black Friday, but frankly this deal is very good, and even during the holiday season I can't imagine the price improving much more considering how few sites nowadays let New Yorkers get away with not paying tax online. In comparison, this exact package with two less pair of glasses costs just a shade over $3000 on Amazon, tax included.

Well then I say go for it. The Plasmas are better 3D sets at present and you need a new TV obviously. Have you looked up any reviews for any particular quirks you might not have picked up on?

I checked all the Amazon reviews. The set has 4.5/5 stars and most people are gushing over the set. The only 1 star review came from a guy that was complaining about his TV getting delivered broken, but said in the review that the TV itself was of high quality. One guy claims to have returned like 4 other Samsung 3D TVs between the different models before settling down satisfied with this one. I think the only gripe is the sound quality coming from the speakers but that doesn't concern me as I'll be using a surround system. Here's the review page:

Only issue I saw in some reviews was "poor handling of 1980P 24FPS content". Everything else is, uses more power than an LCD ZOMG. 
Maybe if you can take a look at one, bring along your own 1080P 24FPS blu ray and try that out if it concerns you.
