"There are at least 50 articles that explain how 1080p and 1080i are visually the same if the TV handles 1080i deinterlacing properly"
This is true for TVs that have 1080 vertical lines. So if you have a 1080p display you may not get a better picture from 1080p then from 1080i source. But you said it doesn't make sense to buy a 1080p TV. And this is nonsense.
Why? Because most 1080i only displays at the moment have 768 physical vertical pixel lines. While 1080p displays have normally >1080 physical vertical pixel lines. And this is whats important. You cannot display 1080 vertical lines on a TV that has 768 vertical pixel resolution. Clear?
