Another projector that you may consider in the same price range is the Epson 9100W. It has the advantage of wireless HDMI connection (very helpful in some installations). I have installed one last week. Very good brightness and very good 3D performance.

But for 2D performance the JVC is a better projector. Super black levels. Another advantage of the new x-35 is the IP control app. Since you are already using the Meridian vMSR you can also download the DILA Remote app and control the projector with your iPad as well. You will have to run an Ethernet cable together with your HDMI cable to your rack.

My personal choice for 2D performance is the JVC-X35.
