It's going to take me another year of saving just to be able to make the $8000 or so I'd need for the Dream Vision, screen, long s-video cable, taxes, etc.
I went shopping with $3000 with the possibility of extending that to $4000. When I saw the Pioneer Pro 200's picture, I almost bought it on site, until I learned it was $7500 plus tax. It made the DLP projector seem like a bargain.

The convenience, ease of setup (plug and play basically) and increased light output, and lower overall price are very important factors for me. I realize that I will be far from a great setup but will have a very good one instead. The demo I saw was great, and I know for certain that I no longer want a rear projection tv. I can't imagine that 65 inches looks small to me now.

But I plan to audition some CRT's (and LCDs) this coming year, and to search the archives and Deja News to gather more information about front projectors. I had always skipped over these posts in the past.

But what's more important is that my wife just LOVED the large size screening, and is excited about this purchase. She already helped decorate and smooth the sound of our music room with wall hangings, plants and drapes (curtains). The music room is indeed spaceous, handsome and relaxing She even said that she would help pay for our new home theater (she earns more than I do). I feel blessed to have this kind of support for my hobby (addiction).
