The larger mirror and additional eyepiece swivel arc allows one to check focus out at the edges of the projected image - worth every bit of the added expense to me. The Filter makes the image so dim that I can barely see the grain (my old eyes find it very difficult to use the filter). I've used both models and much prefer the added ease of use, and extended range of projected areas to check focus - made available by the larger model.
