Exclamation sony bravia VPL-AW15??? any good? anybody seen or got one???

hi have been looking at projectors for weeks now and am starting to just go in circles. have been looking at projectors such as the epson tw1000 mitsubishi hc5000 and the optoma hd80!!! but i have now been looking at the sony VPL-AW15. only 720p but alot cheeper. has any body seen this projector in action and share their views? are the 1080 units worth the extra? it will be projecting onto a 80" planar xscreen is that makes any difference??

There is a review on projector central but it doesn't really alude to much unfortunitly.

Not sure if its the sucessor to the HS60 as they have changed the branding from cinza to bravia. You could do alot worse than the panasonic Ax100, hitachi ptx 300 or sanyo z5 if your after a good quality cheap lcd projector. They can all be had for between £600-800 and some with free bulbs or screens/hdmi cables.

it sounds good but it shows more SDE than other LCDs. its not that bad brightness wise, but still not a light canon.

So as long as your not going to sit close to the screen, its worth a demo
