I've been downloading files from Evil Angel for the past year in 1080p and saving them to an external HD. I recently added a blu ray burner and want to burn some of the files to discs as data files. I would probably need 2-3 times the discs to burn them as 1080p instead of 720p. Is there a noticeable difference between the two file sizes? Thanks.

You are the best judge of that. It depends on your equipment and your setup and (most importantly) your eyes. Generally (and oversimplified), you have to have a huge screen, be sitting close to it, and have perfect eyesight (all 3 conditions together) to see the difference.

Domo arigato ninja1. Burned the two file types to disc and watched on the tv and didn't notice any difference.

As Ninja said, major function of difference is eyesight. If you're eyes can't differentiate more pixels, then it's useless.
If you visual acuity is good and all codecs, display-tech, encoding being equal, distance is a major factor.

1080 has about 2 million pixels and 720 has about 920k pixels (so there is a difference).
The real question is is the investment in storage and tech worth the 1080 vs 720 difference.
Big the jump from 480 to 720 is mind blowing and 720 should be minimum standard.
