cavx Thanks so much for your knowledgeable and detailed response! I was indeed thinking of going with a faux 4k JVC or Epson, but had not thought much about the 4k source. I am not the audiophile/videophile you are, so I will probably go for a more conventional (read, less expensive) overall route when upgrading my components. I currently have a 7.1 setup with four speakers built into the ceiling, so I doubt I will be upgrading to 9 or 11 channels at this point. For me, things already look and sound pretty darn good, so the money I save would go to other car/toy/prop interests. Since you're a "Scope" fan, I'll bet your system looks and sounds amazing. Many of the high-quality Scope lenses cost more than the projectors they're used with, as yours probably does--but I'll bet the results are absolutely epic. I was looking at some Panamorph Paladin DCR shots--wow; If I had an extra $20k laying around, a complete reimagining of my setup would be a fun project. Again, thanks so much for your info, and I hope I can ask you for some advice if/when the time comes to blow everything up and start over.
