Which LED TV - Samsung B7000 or B7020??

I have decided to buy a Samsung 32 inch LED TV because of its ultra slim design and all the add ons - web enabled and in built free view. However I note there is a B7000 and a B7020 the latter which is slightly more expensive and more difficult to find to buy? Does anyone know the difference between the two TV's and which is a better buy? Also I am a bit new to this web enabled aspect - what does it actually mean for the future - can we actually go online and utilise all the normal web sites via the TV? Also does web enabled mean you can watch catch up TV on the actual TV?? Thanks - a bit new to this TV lark.

    If you compare the two products on Samsung's website there appears to be no difference, so chances are that a retailer has negotiated a unique product code for themselves to prevent people from price-matching. A quick scan suggests that the B7000 can only be got in the UK from Dixons, but I didn't check in detail.

    I don't know for sure about watching catch up TV directly on the TV, but I doubt it, as a PC typically does a lot of local buffering that the TV won't be able to.

    The network connection is more for weather, news, sports, etc updates and for streaming media over your network.

    Not sure what the difference is between the two, but it's never anything important. Most of the current retailer variants of Samsung products just have a different colour light along the bottom
