>>I  project my stuff on a 60 x 60 matt
screen with a Leica RT-300 projector (at that time).  I was somewhat
disappointed with the results which just didn't have the color saturation I
wanted, which was one of the reasons I switched to Leica and prime lenses.<<

I just bought a used Kinderman 6x6 projector. I ran through several dozen
Canyon slides. Not the Grand Canyon but Royal Gorge in Colorado, taken a
decade ago with my then newly acquired Hasselblad. The slides were Velvia
mounted in Gepe glass mounts. Speaking of saturation, I love 35mm and I love
using my Leica's, but those 2 1/4 chromes are a hard act to follow. I just
have to wait a week or two after using the Kinderman, before I can project
the 35mm trannies. Even Leica trannies.
