Well I finally upgraded to a FP! It’s been something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. I sold my 55” Mitsubishi on Ebay and replaced it with a DIY 98” screen and a Sony VPL-HS20 LCD projector. The picture quality is incredible! I had some reservations about LCD vs. DLP but it turns out I really had nothing to worry about. I had also considered the Panasonic AE500 and the Sanyo Z2 but decided to go with the Sony after a lot of research. We a have a 16 year old Sony TV that still has a great picture for it’s age and one of the strongest tuners I’ve ever dealt with, so our experience with that TV helped us decide on the new PJ as well.
I’m considering a recessed pull down screen in the future and gray paint on the ceiling as well.

Spiker,
Don't know how but I missed your post. The room has enough "stuff" that I really don't need any accoustic panels, the sound is fantastic as is. The side and speakers are flush to the wall, aiming them will only cause the surround effects to become localized.
