stupid projector question???

[avncars]

hi, this may just be the stupidest question ever posted on this forum...i have decided to upgrade to a more up to date projecto(1080p). i have been debating between the epson 8500 and panasonic 4000 for about a week now. i finally decided i was going with the Epson, i took one more look at the specs and picture and thats when it hit me! the marantz projector i have now is perfrctly aligned, the center of the lens is lined up perfectly with the center of the screen. on the Epson, the lens is offset to the right side of the projector (here comes the stupid question) will i be able to mount this Epson projector in the same spot as my projector is now, or do i have to shift the mount over so the lens is centered with the screen again? if so, im gonna save myself alot of work and time and go with the panasonic 4000 where the lens is centered on the projector...
