Just looking for user opinions ...

What would be the better buy ... a refurbished optoma h79 or a new mitsubishi hc1500? They are both selling for $750. I don't really need the extra light output of the mitsu. I believe the optoma is a better projector, but it's been out now for a few years and I'm worried about the fact that it's refurbished.

Thanks.

I was facing a similar dilemma, then someone recommended the planar pd7060 for $899 (even less w/ mfst cash back). It's a much better projector than the H79 or HC1500 and it comes with a 2 year warranty. It'll probably be sold out soon though...
