Thanks Bill. Solid advice.If you can afford it yes, (The laser light source will also last for ages without dimming) however if you are spending this type money and you are not set on a laser light source, also have a look at the JVC N series.
In all cases make sure you try before you buy as you may find that the improvement is not worth the extra cost. (To some the difference is night & day but to others it is just minor)
