Ken - After having reviewed ALL of the commercially available projectors -
my selection was Infocus (I have a 580); my cost was $7700 in August 1995 -
however, I bet you could get this projector for a lot less at this time. It
is the brightest LCD projection that I have seen and weighs around the same
as the EIKE.

Good Luck!
