1080i vs. 720p

Any opinions about the pros and cons of these two formats?

I would like to read some in particular from the US, because here in Europe this is almost a matter of religious belief. When introducing HD engineers of German public broadcasters resolutely said that interlaced formats must finally be a thing of the past, defending their decision to use 720p against demands for "full HD", i.e. 1080i.

The point is that all ARD studio outputs and internal feeds are 1080i. Only in the last stage they convert their video to 720p, thus combining the disadvantages of both formats.
