Some people, including myself, are prone to seeing annoying motion-induced rainbow artifacts in DLP displays. Even with a static image, I see rainbows when I move my head, or just scan the scene with my eyes.
Now, the DLP projectors where I've seen this are cheaper and older than what you're considering, so maybe it won't be a problem. But you should probably make sure you can demo a unit, or return it if you end up being bothered by it. (If you plan to use the projector for guests/crowds, and you don't see the rainbows yourself, you might try to find a friend who has been bothered by this, to get another opinion.)
