Trillest Parrot

Cross posting with reddit, sorry if you read there too:

One of my roommates is moving out soon and we need to replace his Epson 8350 and screen. The projector is ceiling mounted and about 17-18' away from his 120" screen. We have curtains for the room, but I personally think the image is too dark even at nighttime. A Sony VPL-HW40ES sounds like it would be perfect, but the person buying it would like to spend less money. Would be get a brighter image than the old 8350 at that distance with a sub-$1000 projector? Looking at the calculator for the BenQ HT1075, it looks like it won't even go down to 120" at that distance. Am I missing something or will that one not work? Any suggestions? Thanks for the help! I'm getting a little bogged down in research.
