I'm looking for a projector for a friend. He had originally planned to get a AE900, but then he found a HD2+ model, the Benq 8700, that just cost a little more. So I'm wondering what to recommend. Are the D5 panel based ones (Z4, AE900) better than the HD2+ ones, or haven't they caught up yet? Also, if anyone knows, what are the main weaknesses/strengths of the two? Is black level/CR still worse on the LCD?


I tried to search the forum for a comparison between them, but it doesn't appear that anyone has compared them yet.
