I know both of these units are very close and have heard good reviews of both but what is your real world opinions? I know the 8500 UB is $300 or so more is that worth it?

I am going to use it for a 110" screen with a ceiling mount about 14' away from the screen in a room with decent light control (not able to completely make it dark but close).

What about opinions on maintenance and how long it will last. I've had a PLV 70 Sanyo for years and it is finally starting to fade.
