Tell that to all the people who stopped buying 300DPI printers when 600 and 1200 became available. The text really does look better with fewer jaggies; it's easier to read too. It also allows you to drop down a text-size or so without negative impact on readability (12-points to 10, or 10 down to 8 for example), which lets you put more content on a page. All good stuff.
I'd choose an improvement in DPI over an improvement in levels of gray-scale in a heartbeat. Likewise for any sub-video-speed refresh-rate improvements.

P.S. Improved contrast would be good too, but isn't quite as big a deal.

Printer dpi is for pictures not for text. All of the latest stuff has photo written all over it.
