I have been reading reviews for this same set up, and have it narrowed to the epson 8350 or the pannasonic pt a100r my seating position will be 14' from the screen, and that is where the projector will be mounted, both projectors are are priced about the same, and have very good reviews. I think I am going with the panasonic, because of the brightness, as my ht will have the same type of use (bd and hd sports) as the other end is also a bar area, so the screen will need to have a good picture, with the lights on. Both projectors can be had for around $1100, so it leaves enough for a pretty good screen, I will be using a fixed screen, and have found them for less than $300 with great reviews.
