I think the Z5 is actually street priced lower than those others right now. At Projector Central it's running $1295. You can find it shopping around for about $1000-1100. It also has 10,000:1 CR... much higher than those DLP models.

The SP-7210 is an older model and only 2800:1 CR.

The Sharp DT-510 is 4000:1 CR (100 less lumens) and around $1500.

Now the HC1500 is a deal at about $800, but still only 2500:1 CR. I think the Z5 will outperform it picture wise for a couple hundred more dollars. It's 1600 lumens should make it a formidable daytime viewing machine, although my Z4 was very good at daytime (lights on) viewing itself.
I've decided on the PLV-Z5 for my first projector, and want to order one asap but I cant find it anywhere on the web for less than 1295.00. Then this morning I see projector people have it as discontinued Anyone steer me in the right direction??
