I've been anticipating the 70HT as an alternative to the higher priced DLP units that have been getting a lot of fanfare (Sharpvision, Marantz, Seleco). Knew about the Boxlight clone, but going to their site, it appears they sell direct only. Is this correct? I've read over at AVS that the 70HT may be had (once it's out) for less than $6K from local dealers, which is better than Boxlight's posted price. If so, are there any benefits to going the Boxlight route? I still have to find local dealers that will have this set up, but I'm looking for installation / setup done for me, so I'll likely go this route if the 70HT impresses.
DougI believe the only advantage of getting the boxlight will probably be the white casing, if you consider that an advantage. With the 60HT/13HD, you got a more attractive silverish casing with the 60HT, and a more neutral, easy to match white casing with the 13HD. You may also find a few warranty differences between the two companies.
