Beovision 7-40 MKII versus MKIII (Full HD)

Hi everyone, and thank you so much for reading my first post and maybe replying!

I grew up with B&O, but has since wandered around this and that ending up with a complete lineup of Pioneer plasma and audio, as well as Canton Vento speakers. Now everything is thrown overboard, and I am back to B&O. A good friend is selling his Beovision 7-40 but not the full HD one. And that is where I am about to have an issue.

My friend knows about these things, as do I. His opinion (of course - being the seller) is that one should not exadurate the importantness of a Full HD screen compared to the one that is not. Also, as a Blu-Ray replacement is likely to show up as a DVD replacement I figure that the sound decoding is perhaps somewhat important. The MKIII with it's Beosystem 3 module decodes a few more formats as I understand it. Furthermore the one my friend sells is not upgradeable? Can anyone confirm this?

The issue here, money aside, is if I make a nice buy on an older Beovision 7-40, or if it should be a "hands-off" compared to the new full HD one. My worry is that I will regret it if I buy the "lesser" one.

Finally - he is selling with the 7-2 loudspeaker. I was thinking of buying a pair of Beolab 1's as well to go alongside it. Is that a complete overkill or just a nice setup?

Thank you in advance to anyone who sees fit to help me out. It's not all black, but I could use some light!
