If you're looking for the best overall image quality under $6k, ... as long as you don't need motorized lens memory.
The Sony will absolutely have better colors, contrast, black levels, and motion. For movies, sports, etc I would go with the Sony hands down.
I am consistently impressed at how satisfyingly accurate the Reference mode looks right out of the box in virtually every Sony projector
The projector is fantastic for movies and gaming it's also very responsive no input lag what so ever.
