To the OP, I would say definitely run all of the calculations for the maximum size 2.35:1 screen you can fit and then determine what size 16:9 that gives you. Next try to estimate how much tv vs movie watching your family is likely to do. More TV might lean you toward 1.85:1. For us it was well worth giving up a few inches of 16:9 height for the width of cinemascope.
Yeah, almost every time someone buys a good home theatre set-up for there first time they learn alot and had they known what they do after a few months of having it, they usually would have gotten somehting else. It's a very expensive interest. but very worthwhile if your a movie buff/fan.

Also with Killzone 2, I don't think I could play in 2:35:1 as I play (90% of the time) online, where sieng everything is a must. Speaking of Killzone 2, I hate it when you're playine with a newb as the sabatour and they shot and kill you thinking your the enemy when disguised. Makes me so angry.
