The Epson has a better warranty than Sanyo's? Sanyo has always has the best warranty in the field, and their 3 day turn around was unique as well. Has this changed?

I've been a long time member of AVS, and used to hang on the projector forums more than Axiom back in the day. Not sure I would go as far to say the Epsons have less issues over other brands, it is probably pretty even across the board. I would also look heavily at the Panny's if you don't want the Sanyo.
