I am looking for a decent projector for my church.

Set-up:
Throw distance is 25ft
Moderate to high ambient light, no direct light
11' 8" Wide screen

I have done several "Brightness Calculators" or whatever you want to call them and I have figured out that I will need a projector with atleast 4000-5000 lumens. This is a small church so spending $10,000 for a projector is out of the question. I would even sacrifice features for lumens because all it will be for is words, with the occasional video once or twice a month. So, I am really looking for the best bang for my buck. Used, Open Box, Recertified are all possibilities as well.

Thanks for your input!

*EDIT*
I was thinking the BenQ SP920
-6000 lumens
-great throw
-easily fit on a 11' 8" screen
-HDMI/DVI for possible upgrades

You probably won't get a lot of help as this really is an HT projector place. But, lumens is key with that kind of setup. You might check www.projectorpeople.com...they have loads of different options.
