azryan,
Let's not get too carried away. Yes, for your needs, a RPTV was the right way to go, as we discussed above. I'll concede that RPTVs are usually less expensive and user friendly than front projectors.
But picture quality depends on the unit and the environment. And reliability and unit life are different beasts entirely - my Sony RPTV was terribly unreliable, and my PLUS Piano has worked flawlessly. (Of course, my experience could be unique. Or not.) Complaints about minor DLP rainbows have been built into mountains, and I know plenty of folks with dead LCD pixels, but I haven't actually heard of *anyone* with stuck DLP mirrors. (Not saying it doesn't happen, just that DLP seems at least as solid a technology to build on as LCOS or LCD).
The bottom line is that for screen sizes measured in feet, not inches, front projection is an excellent choice. Often, it's the only choice.
