Exactly - and if you're paying =A3700 - =A32k for a Projector (or buying
an=
=A3800
42" plasma) then spending =A3800 on a cheap lift (and =A3800 is a
cheap lif=
t)
probably isn't worthwhile but if you're installing something good (like a
=A312k 3 chip DLP) into a dedicated AV room where there are maybe a dozen
seats that each cost double the price of the lift and the screen was =A32k
then it snaps into a bit more sensible a perspective.

Think about it this way ... Having the optional ceramic brake discs and
pad=
s
added to your new Ferrari/Porsche will cost you maybe =A35k - you can buy a
complete car (I obviously use the term "car" quite loosely there)
brand new
for not much more than that!
