Yes. Sony will have new 4k XBRs in a couple of months and they have an end-to-end native 4k content distribution system.
The top end models have full-array local dimming LEDs.

Sell them now while there is still some margin in them.

Yes, but my point is that with every 4k "evolution", prices are going drop and drop and drop until you can buy them at best buy for less than your cost. :) So maybe wait a few months and sell them the new model immediately. :)

No insight on nextgen, but we have already installed 3 4K sets and are scheduled to do another 3.
In addition we have 2 Crestron DM systems we are upgrading to 4K as soon as the equipment is released.

Customer prefers Samsung TVs. No content ... Do they prefer the name on the box or the content they're watching? Right now only Sony has a solution for that. Blame Samsung for nothing but upconverted 1080p. [Link: store.sony.com]All of the XBR models are 4k, the FMP-X1 is the hard drive storage for the downloaded content, it comes with 10 movies already loaded and there is more and more on the store all of the time.

The next gen products coming out this year are a mixed bag and not necessarily an improvement. That said, having HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 support will be essential in the future and with most vendors, this is coming in the second gen products (Sony excluded).
And yes, the bottom may fall out of this quick if Vizio indeed delivers on these TVs, with better fidelity (local dimming) and much lower retail price.
