Well, there's your problem!
Great thread!

After realizing I never really watch TV anymore, I've been thinking of ditching it and getting a projector instead. Sound will run through the stereo, and it will be mostly use for movies (either Blu Rays through the PS3 or Netflix etc from an Apple mini). I don't think I will do much, if any, gaming, but the option is of course nice. The projector it self will be ceiling mounted and about 2.8m (9.2 feet). There is a natural nook for the ceiling-mounted pull-down screen which when measured should be able to hold a 88" diagonal screen. The room itself is white painted with windows on one wall, but these all have metal blinds, so I can shut out the light pretty well. Also, where I live it's dark half the year anyways. I can pull one 8m HDMI, but I have been looking at wireless projectors too.

In my budget, I have been looking at three different projectors, but don't know which one to choose:

1. Epson LCD TW6600 ($1488 here)
Gotten some good reviews as far as I can see.

2. Epson LCD TW6600W ($1643 here)
This one is the same as the previous, but wireless and comes with a wireless hub that has 5 HDMIs. Very handy!

3. BenQ DLP W1070 ($932 here)
I see this one recommended by many people.

3. BenQ DLP W1070+W ($1452 here)
Same as previous, but with wireless, although this one only has space for 1 HDMI wireless signal.

Are the Epson's worth the price difference? Are there better options?
I can of course consider other projectors and tips, and budgetwise I would like to get a good option as cheap as possible, but around $1500-1600 is doable for the projector.

Thank you for any advice!

W1070 should be less than that, it's around $620 CAD (refurbished).

After looking around it seems $827 US is the cheapest the W1070 can be bought for in my country. It's many Kroners.
