720p Plasma vs 1080p LCD but with lower contrast ratio?

I currently have a 42" Vizio, it's fairly old and only has a 1000:1 contrast ratio but has 1080P resolution. I don't really mind the image quality on it, although there is some blur as with most LCDs. I want to get some thing a little bigger in the 50-55" range and found a nice Samsung plasma TV with a 2,000,000:1 contrast ration but has only 720p supported resolution. I feel like the Samsung will look much better with the higher CR and plasmas don't have blurring issues. Any opinions?
