In my experience most people are nowhere near that discriminating to worry about the picture being a little less sharp than HD.

It baffles me to be honest. I can only assume people who think the V+ upscaling is good must have really, really terrible scalers in their TVs. The internal scaling on my HDTV is much better than the V+'s scaler.
That aside, I wish people would stop talking about upscaling and HD as if they are connected. They simply aren't. One is standard definition, one is high definition. They are a generation apart, and it is simply impossible to make SD into HD. Once something has been scaled down the detail is lost forever. All you can do is blur and hope for the best.
I also don't think it has anything to do with being an enthusiast. It's simply progress, like the move from mono to stereo to 5.1, and from black and white to colour.
