I am quite sure that the Sony will get you a better picture quality. I own a Panasonic right now and I am not that happy with the quality either. Mostly because I had a Sony HDD-model for a weekend and it was much better. I didn't try the 4-hr mode on the Sony though.

The Sony seems to have much better pre-encoding filters to remove noise, which should reduce blocks. The Panasonic seems to only apply filters on playback which of course is worse.
