I wouldn't make your buying decision on 3D as it is now. Its so hopelessly wrong in its current form. You shouldn't have to spend 100's on glassess for each person to watch the 3D effect.
I would purchase a lower priced quality TV.
Keep in mind that LED is an LCD tv. If you are looking at the ultra thin LEDs then there is no difference in potential picture quality to any older style LCD tv. However, the LED tvs that are backlit will look better as they can produced better blacks similar to Plasmas as they can actaully turn off any individual pixel.
I bought a 46" $800 Sony from Costco in February and haven't seen any difference between it and any other TV in any store yet. Considering I only own a PS3 and Avatar on bluray and Avatar is currently a hit in every store display, its an easy comparison.
I have a 4,6,and 7 year old and I wouldn't give them $100-$200 glasses to wear to watch a movie. Plus it would cost me at least $500 in glasses alone for my family, but more likely a lot more.

The package deal comes with 4 glasses. I don't plan to have to buy any more than that.

yeah.... nice plan. I see that happening with 4yr old wearing them and potentially other children or drunken friends while you and only 3 other people watch some sporting event.
Not to mention the plasma TV it comes with is a low end TV. Look it up for its individual costs to see what your really paying for those items.
When I researched TVs in feb, I originally thought about getting a plasma but all I read about on many different forums and tech reviews was how burn in was still an issue and they used considerable more electricity than LCD TVs.
My personal prefrence would be to just buy a regular LCD TV and wait until 3D is either using the passive system with cheaper glasses like theaters or a glassless system like the 3DS.
