If your first row of seats is 10ft and you second row 15'ft the AX200 gets my vote because the smooth screen might keep the closer row from seeing screen door. Thats assuming you are in the 100 to 110 screen size. Larger screen than this, AX for sure.

A company that stands behind their warranty and a good dealer are really important in the projector market, because projectors have a higher problem rate than most TV' and much higher bulb failure rates.

An after market projector/bulb warranty should be considered, some are not priced too high for the coverage.

Good Luck

If you want an under 100" screen you do not want a screen with any gain if your projector is bright unless you want a .8 gain gray screen then you might want a brighter projector. Then there is the consideration, do you want your projector to be used in economy or standard mode. Economy mode the lamp lasts longer, less heat output and less noise.
