The DL450 and DLS8 both benefit from a really good light engine... I had read that the DLX10 was substantially different and that it had some more problems associated with video use but I am not talking from experience.. IIRC I belive it was an issue with tearing at +60hz that was fixed by later firmware but the 'fix' included a green tint !! I am not sure if this was ever really sorted... I am also hazy on if this was the DLX650 but I am sure others can confirm or deny...
The DLS8 commands a premium over a DL450 (and I think you could beat that price if looking for reliable reputable second hand... remember bulbs are 6000 hour and $414 so not such an issue) due to extra brightness (800 over 550 +-)...
If it was my money I would find out what was up with the DLX10 and have that or the DLS8... lets face it you should be able to enjoy the DLS8 for a year or so and still recoup all but 400 - 600 on it. If all is well with the DLX10 you have a XGA 1000 lumen DLP and spec wise this trumps them both but the DL450 DLS8 light engine was very well respected...
You are aware you need a scaler or HTPC to make these really work well aren't you ???
