Thanks for the heads up. I see they also now have the BenQW1070 for $849.
In the few head to head comparisons I've seen at AVSforum, the BenQ edges out the 8350/45 in picture quality. The one thing the Epson does have is lens shift, but it's not something I need.
Don't get me wrong, from what I've read, the Epson 8350/45 was an amazing projector when it was released. It appears that it has been eclipsed by the W1030.
Its nice to know that the BenQ has dropped by $100 in Canada though. That's money I can invest into a screen. I can now manage a manufactured screen and projector for $1,300, less than a 60" flat panel TV. That's just stupid cheap for a projection system.
