I dont know about it beating the pants off the Sony but as I noted above its a awesome unit for sure, the mock anamorphic mode while somewhat a cheaters feature will be desored by some who want the 235 experience.
From the throw range calculations it looks posible but your really on the brink of pushing it at that distance and desired size. But it vents in a way that makes it ideal for close to wall placement. So further investigation would be needed to see if the 4000 would indeead work but my gut says it will.
If my Sony dies or I get the itch the 4000 or the Epson 8700UB would likely be my choice if not something new I havent seen on my radar shows up. The Sony will thrill for sure as would these others mentioned, as always shopping needs to be looked at from the fact your never going to have a likely side by side comparison so its pointless to fuss over it.
I got dizzy everytime I upgraded projectors with specs, stats and reviews, never once did I regret a infomered purchase. You noted a fantastic price on the Sony so if its in the $1500 or less range go with it, if on the other hand its at the $2k mark do think about the 4000, the Epson and others you may enjoy aswell.
Like always feel free to ask a question here or private if you think I can help........would be glad to. Cheers
