RE: I'm in the market for a new TV. Do I rule out 720 and just go with the 1080 TV at this time?

I also sit 16 feet away from my display. All other things being equal you would only be throwing your money away by getting a 1080p display and that's even with 20/20 vision. You will not be able to see any difference due to the difference in resolutions at 16' with a 60" display. It is likely though that some 720p displays will look better to you than some 1080p displays and vise-versa because of the differences in their color, contrast ratios, white levels, processing, etc.
