Threadjack apologies.

Gregg, what's your opinion of the cooling fan noise on the Epson? ProjectorReviews has said that Epson's tend to be louder than most LCDs, but "louder" itself is a relative term. I'm looking to upgrade from an Infocus X1 and my biggest complaint is the fan and/or color wheel noise. I've been leaning towards the Sanyo Z2000 for the performance/$$$ and every "pro" and owner review comments on how quiet they are, but I could probably convince myself to jump to the 1080UB for the extra lumens/black level if noise isn't an issue.

Projector position will probably end up in the 3'ish range directly over my primary seat.
