Zooming can work fine especially if the X30 has the lens memory. You might be lucky as I was an a good used lens will turn up, but you need a long throw setup to get the best out of it: Otherwise you start needing a curved screen due to pincushion if it's a very short throw setup.
The discussions can get very heated between lenses and zooming and TBH these days I can't be bothered arguing over it, I'm happy with my setup and really that's all that matters...I bought mine used to try out knowing I could sell for the same price if I didn't like it/think it was worth it, three years later (or whatever it is) and I still have it. I did zoom for a couple of years and even owned a projector with lens memory for a brief while and that worked quite well (shame the image wasn't good enough once the film started, but that's not the fault of zooming, just that it was a Panasonic ).
