I have an HV20 and XLH1 (more or less, the same as the HG and XH)...and I can tell you there's a difference in image quality. If the price is worth it is really up to you and depends on what you plan on using it for.
Right off the bat, the extra $$ gets you get a better lense, larger/more CCD's, and XLR audio. Also, consider the perception of how much more profesional the camera's look...I can't show up for a corporate gig (in which I'm getting paid a good amount) with a small camera that looks "consumer"...no matter how great the images look, it's just not going to fly...clients would be worried from the start.
Don't get me wrong, my HV20 is a great camera...but I only use it for a feeder deck, location scouting, back-up cam and travel cam...my XLH1 goes to all my paid gigs.
