Personally I wouldn't worry about ADSL2+ compatibility.
You have to remember that these speeds are limited by the ability of your phone line. The ISP can offer the speeds but your phone line may not be able to support speeds that high. I know I'm very close to the exchange in my area so my speeds should be relatively high. I'm getting 2000k on iinet's 8000k plan so there is no way ADSL2+ is going to have any benefit to me.

I'd hate to imagine what I'd get up here in Mt Tarcoola. At one stage I could only get 32k on a 56k connection with a v90 modem. Seems ants are rife here and had eaten through the lines. adsl2 ants maybe would be tougher? I guess by the time adsl2+ is available the modem will be obsolete but as this is the first time on broadband, and with adsl2 imminent in my understanding, I'd rather get the latest equipment and know it wasn't the weakest link.
