I´ve now seen this LCD projector against the new Sanyo Z5, AX-100 & Mitsubishi HC3100(DLP). The new Epson is outstanding much better then Z5 and AX-100.

what´s better then?
Everything except fan noise

It was so good! it´s a must see to believe.
Yes it cost a bit more but you can compare it to a 4000$ DLP it´s that good

Pity you have only 3 posts so we can't really make a judgment based on your comparison to the other models.

Where did you demo these 4 units?
Who set them up?
What media did you watch?

Why do you think its better? tell us your reasoning behind it.

Cheers

It´s more 3D like and the colors are Exceptional(skin tone)
Black is DLP black! Brighter colors than Z5 (Lumen 1600)
It has much better lens(totally new)which allows for a sharper picture and better contrast.

I have demoed TW700(PowerLiteProCinema 810 in USA)in Sweden.

I´m not alone to think it´s better than Z5... if you can read Swedish

It´s up to you to believe me. My girlfriend picked TW700 the winner in a blind test

To bad the fan noise is the same as TW-600
