Front projection (even with moderate amounts or less) is FAR superiour format and VERY reasonable, my old projector was a very basic Toshiba MT7U and had a fantastic picture.
I now use a lower light output CRT but i have a dark room for it, you can still see it very well with the lights on.
Most people complain about "washed out" colors in moderate light, but,, think about this,, how many times have you seen televisions with HUGE reflections on them from a window or other light source? you get none of this with a projector.
Worst case is you try it and dont like it, if you buy wisely you can just resell it.
Hope this helps.
