My TV and "cable box" are horrible at video processing. I can't wait for a pre/pre that has some solid video processing built in. Would I pick one pre/pro over another simply based on how well it does on that front? All other features being equal, of course I would. Chances are the 978 and any competitors to the 978 all do a better job at video processing than your TV and cable box too.
