Sanyo PLV-Z2000 for $1700.00 OR PT-AX200u for $1300.00? HELP

[billmd]

I am looking at both projectors. On the one hand You have arguably the best 720p out there and on the other an entry level 1080p. HMMM
I will be using this pJ for Television SD/HD, Sports and movies in a basement with the lights both on and off at times depending on the use. I have a 100" screen @13 ft. The ambient light is totally controllable but I do want to be able to watch Tv with the lights on.
Anyone with any experience or insight please help a brotha out.

Other equip Toshiba ax2 HD/DVD

Forgot to mention I am also running the Onkyo 875

Thanks for the info Sonnie, but which would you choose?

[Sonnie]

I considered the Z2000 when I was shopping and ended up choosing the
Panasonic PT-AE2000U 1080p HD Projector. I have been as happy as I could be and will say that I have not seen a better picture than what I've seen on this projector. It is absolutely stunning. So, it would be difficult for me to answer that question other than to say that I would choose neither and buy the Panny 2000 instead.
