For a dedicated, light-controlled room, you don't want this projector. The TK80OM and TK850M are intended for multi-use rooms with significant ambient light. They had a white segment to the color wheel (RGBW) to increase white lumens, which sacrifices color lumens, color accuracy, and contrast. It's a good projector for a living room, but not for a dedicated theater.
The HT3550 is a much better choice for a dedicated theater. I would definitely think it's worth the extra, and you can get a refurb with a full warranty from benqdirect for $1199. It adds more lens shift and ZOom, excellent factory-calibrated color accuracy, a dynamic iris for scene-by-scene dynamic brightness and contrast, and 18GBPS HDMI for 4K 60fps HDR. It is a very large improvement for the price difference.

based on specs, the 850 is an upgrade

Producing 4K UHD 3840x2160 resolution with 8.3 million distinct pixels, TK800M utilizes new generation 0.47" single-DMD DLP technology to minimize the sleek, compact profile for modern lifestyles. With four times the resolution of Full HD 1080p, 4K UHD reduces pixel blur for stunning clarity and crisply defined fine details to showcase the beautiful game.

What you are really arguing is that some native 4k technologies are better than others, but 4k pixel shifting DLP is native 4k like it or not.
I'll tell you, i'm in the market for a projector and the refurbs and sales make it so hard to select which to go with. I want to spend around a grand.
I have an aging Panasonic AE8000 in a mixed use room with ALR screen, and I want to replace fairly soon (before bulb fails) - but looking for ideally a lot more brightness for 135" screen and current laser projectors with the right brightness are quite a bit more…
