Yes, the 11HT is rated at 1000 ANSI as well, just like the 10HT, but the longetivity of the lamp is longer though.
This is definitely the new 11HT selling for this price. As a matter of fact, there are several stores in Japan selling this PJ for this price. Paste this URL into Babelfish and check out for yourself:

The 10HT, on the other hand, is selling street at around 430,00 yen, or less than $3,500.
In other words, forget Hong Kong. Rather, buy a plane ticket to Japan for the money you are going to save, buy the PJ at site after physical/performance inspection (dead pixels/green fog), and enjoy some vacation at the same time. The Akihabara District in Tokyo with its insanely huge selection of electronics would make any frequent visitor to this forum to go nuts, guaranteed!
