I do not know the latest projectors (8350 is 2 years old), but Jamestown screens are still excellent for the money if you do not mind a bit of work assembling it.
Home theatre with fixed screen is different than TV. The picture is more natural. I do not like surround sound. People complain about sound of opera on surround systems (for example Blu-ray I Puritani/Metropolitan) - on my high resolution stereo it sounds very good.

If you hang projector from the ceiling do not buy a noisy projector. Make sure the screen is a right size for your watching distance.

From the photos it appears as though you're very serious about acoustic treatment, but doesn't all that equipment between you mains affect imaging, especially depth of soundstage? I realize it's not uncommon to place a rack between the speakers, but I've wondered about the wisdom of doing so. Before installation of a projection screen, we had a flat screen monitor between the mains; removing that monitor improved depth of soundstage in our room. A monitor may present a greater (more uniform) acoustic impediment than a rack of equipment.

  The picture does not show it but the horns are very long so the racks are not between the mains, they are set back 3 feet behind the drivers and horn mouths. The racks are not flat surface like TV screen - they partly act as a diffusor. There are 2 broad bandwidth absorbing panels behind the racks. The screen is almost transparent acoustically and there are panels behind it.
