I hope you will get your projector eventually. Please let us know ;)
I honestly never paid any attention to this topic. Projectors were available in all places I needed them (at work, in various institutes for seminars, etc.) and I never had to worry about them. The quality was very often there, but however not always... But again, this was a minor issue to me as I was an occasional user of a specific projector (and the one in our institute, which I used the most, is a pretty good one).
