your readings are only as good as your tool. My tool a Klein K10A @ $6900 is somewhat suspect for CR measurements.
(although I do understand your concern relating to Sony projectors and image degradation.)
On a related note, I currently have 1 JVC RS1000 in stock / ready to ship. IMO, this PJ out performs the Sony 295 by every measurable spec.
