You may want to dig into the JVC RS440 if you can find one. They may be on sale for a very good price right now. I think I can get them around $2,500USD right now. The black levels will kill most of the rest, they have lens memory and the rest. Not Epson level brightness, but ideal for a 100" to 133" screen in a proper room.
The room itself makes the absolute greatest impact on any image, so if your room isn't ideal, it may be worth considering spending money on that instead of the projector right now.
