I will not go into great deail on your projector question. I will let the pro's answer that. Although, I (me) would go with a low hour used projector. Possibly even stack 2. The 82" Mits doesn't stand a chance against a good line doubled projector.
My biggest concern is your room dimensions. Dude, Those are horrible dimensions you are talking about here, For the sound portion. Let alone only a 120" screen in a 22' wide room. You will need to break out the hammer and nails man and divide that room up correctly.
The proper dimensions are to be based on your ceiling height. Someone help me out here, it has been a while since I had to do the formula. Lets see, 20' high ceiling. Whew, I think it is X 1.3 for width, X 2.3 for lentgh. Is that right? You have some real problems here.
That is unless you just don't care what it sounds or looks like and just want to impress people. I suggest you find the proper formula and spend the money correctly. Measure once and cut it twice as the old saying goes. Maybe you could divide the room and have a nice entrance with the popcorn machine and that stuff. I wouls go 2 projectors stacked and at least a 18' wide screen. Maybe 4 rows of some cinema chairs. Hope you have a real good system to fill that room.
All in all though I wish I had ceilings that high when I built mine. Maybe you could put a basketball court in.
