Dunno... I wouldn't be that optimistic. We started to shoot some HD recently (we're also backward in that regard and still shoot most of our stuff in SD), but I was not really satisfied with how it looks at full HD resolution when encoded in h264 at 3mbps. Heck even raw 100 mpbs DVCPro HD footage didn't look nowhere near those recent Hollywood HD trailers that impressed me just like you.
Sure it's still much better than SD, but not million bucks worth imo. When you downres it to about SD size it looks really gorgeous, but not at full HD. Check Vimeo for examples - when they stream HD footage through about SD size player it looks great, but click full screen and it doesn't look that good anymore.

And so I'm lost.
