What really struck me about the P2002 + FF Colorplan show that I attended was that for a change, I wasn't noticing that the focus was soft in the corners or center, but rather, simply enjoyed the pictures, regardless of whether they were mounted in cardboard or glass. I wasn't alone either: Though a table of M and R goodies was provided, the projectors practically stole the show! Unfortunately, no one had thought to set up for A/B comparisons between the various Pradovits. About the RT-300; I have the feeling I know what it looks like--big blocky thing with rounded-off corners, and way too big to want to carry further than the parking lot? If so, it's a possibility, but a few compromises may be made here, because this is one show that I want to take on location from time to time. >Lets see, I have >about as much chance to do this as I did to build a special room just for >my audio equipment!! (I used to be al old audio nut and built all my stuff) > Okay, then let me express my wishes in audio terms: I'm looking for the Dyna SCA35 of slide projectors--Big sound (for modest rooms) little package, and so much fun that the few which show up on the used market have been played 'till they wouldn't play no more :-) Jeff
