i have a benq 6200, and i am very happy with it. i think i paid 1300$.. use it for DVD'S and for digital cable, no HD service yet, dont really feel it is worth the extra money per month for the service, and the extra money i would have to spend for a component switch.. even with digital cable the picture is quite good.. and dvd's the picture is theater quality.. and this is just a 1300$ projector.. one thing to keep in mind, is get a decent screen, i have a dalite 1.5 grain screen.. so in the 2-3000 you might want to have that include projector + screen? unless you already have that figured out.
good luck
