HD Clip Preferences?

[the tickleshow]

Hey, sorry in advance if this is the wrong place to put this, but here goes:
All of our clips are available as .WMV files in our clips store in 720p HD.

I can make them all available is an even higher quality .MPEG format ( in 1080i). The quality is so realistic, it literally looks like you are watching the video through a window as opposed to your computer screen!

The only thing is, that makes the files HUGE. (89MB for a 30 second clip as opposed to 21MB for the 30 second standard 720P HD clip)

What I want to know is, does the improvement in quality make th size of the file a non-issue? I just want to be able to put the best possible material out there without overloading your comp drives.

I have included two samples so please let us know what you think.
Thanks!

Tina in 1080i 89MB

Tina in 720p 22MB

Great. I'll do some testing in the next few weeks.
Thank you

I for one would go for the smaller file -- lower-res but still great. (And I have an older/slower pc with limited space.)
