Too bad they didn't review it against the JVC DLA-RS1. If you haven't seen this projector with its true 15,000:1 contrast you owe it to yourself to check it out. It simply blows the pearl and the mits 5000 out of the water because of this unique combination of brightness (700 lumens in calibrated mode) and amazing contrast.
You should also look at something like sin city to see how annoying auto-iris systems can be. As the scene shifts from dark to dark with some brighter elements the shift in the background darks is very noticeable and annoying. This alone knocked the mits off my list and yes I have seen one in person.
Of course the JVC is more expensive than the Pearl or the Mits but if you are purchasing for a dedicated home theater then its one of the models that should be considered.
