I have a 2.5 year old P150, and I have to second what Hans says.  The
electric focus broke on mine; it took forever to repair.  The construction
is not very sturdy and the high-capacity trays tend to jam when feeding
slides.  The projector was a gift from my wife, so I'm keeping it;
otherwise I would sell it and buy something of higher quality.
