This may not be a important function for many but I use lens memory all the time. I'm having a hard time finding a list of projectors that support it other than the various Panasonic models.

I think the Sony VPL-HW50ES supports it and I'd assume other Sony models above that do as well. Not all of them I'm sure.

One other is the Sony VPL-VW600ES but I'd expect a 5 figure projector to have it when a $1,500 projector does.

What other PJ's under $5,000 have Lens memory? I thought of just selling mine and getting the Panasonic 8000 but it seems a few people have had some issues with blooming so I'm looking at other options.

If you don't want to pay the premium just to get lens memories, you can pick up a Panamorph UH480 lens on the used market for ~$1200. This might be a better option if you really want to go 2.35:1. The Panamorph is a great lens, well worth the price for a used one.
