It looks like my RPTV is finally being declared the lemon that it is, giving me store credit I can use either for a new RPTV or FP. We're moving into a new house this weekend with a nice basement that has total ambient light control, so I'm leaning 99.9% towards front projection.

I have three options--the Sanyo Z1, Epson Home 10, or Panasonic 300 (all LCDs). Haven't seen either the Epson or Panny in action, but there is a substantial $1000 difference in price that would help a lot towards a screen, mount and installation costs. I was totally unimpressed with the Z1 (screen door effect was awful), but this may have been an unfair first impression as I'm sure it wasn't properly calibrated.

Sadly the X1 isn't carried by the store, but I thought that machine was awesome (I tried to see rainbows but never could).

Anybody have experience with any of these, particularly the Epson vs the Panny? Yeah, I should really be posting to AVSForum, but I thought I'd try my luck here first.
