You asked "Which has the better picture".
Even with your caveats "I know the disadvantages of both" you're bound to get people touting their own pet technology based on the fact that every projector type has trade offs. Perfect is watching the action in your easy chair in front of you. Everything delivered by a film projector or a video projector is flawed and suffers comparatively.
That said, the three most important things to me PICTURE WISE that D-ILA delivers on are..
No Screen Door
Higher resolution
A "silky smooth" picture after calibration.
That said its a matter of your opinion after factoring the disadvantages of the each technology available at what price point.
If you have the heat, bulb cost, size of the projector, and noise whipped buy a D-ILA IMHO.
I am buying a LT-150 not for use in my HT here but for use in my vacation house 'cause I can stick it in my luggage and it offers a great pic FOR THE PRICE.
Lets try it this way. What car will get you to work the FASTEST. A Ferrari or a VW Bug? umm...are you driving on streets with a speed limit of 30 MPH?
