A key difference between the Home Cinema 2045 and the 2040 is:
The 2045's built in Miracast and Intel WIDI, which means it can wirelessly show what's on the display of Miracast equipped laptops, desktops and android devices.
Wireless can be very handy. Especially if you plan to be mobile with your new projector! Between streaming sticks and Miracast the Home Cinema 2045 gives you tremendous mobility, all you need is an internet connection, or some content on your device, and you are in business!

I went back and forth between this model and the Benq HT2050, and finally chose the Epson, it's about $200 cheaper and by buddies who work in high end A/V custom retailers told me this is as good as it gets under $1k. They said stay away from DLP in this price range. DLP may give better blacks but overall this Epson is superior to anything in its class, beating even projectors selling for nearly twice as much. 3LCD is the way to go, or so I was told. Plus bulbs are way cheaper ($79) instead of over $200

How did you get the price match? https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/cu...=201133150
They are sending you brand new same price or a refurb?

would a throw range of 3.6 - 29.5 feet work?
I suppose it would if you're happy with a 40" screen
you didn't specify screen size, but 40" for 6 feet is not bad at all.
