Hi RC,
Your PJ is gone for 560 at the end. And only starting from 3500 Lum I would be sure that it had 10 and not 8 LDs.
I do not understand why trying to catch a deal on ebay while you Americans can currently buy a new V2 at amazon for 463usd, which is known to have 8 LDs.

Me I lately bought one of each v1 and v2 second hand (but with very little working hours) here in Europe from amazon.uk and ebay.es and had to pay amounts equivalent or higher than those 460usd for each of them.
First I thought to dismantle v2, but the picture is so good that I finally want to keep it for watching movies and concerts. Still thinking about v1.
An idea (I know it is not lasers related, but): has anyone tried to combine pictures from 2 PJs standing on each other or like and beaming from same HDMI output onto same screen/wall and have 5700 Lumens picture in total?
