Pico mobile projector shootout, which one is better?

[GadgetShark]

There seems to be a slew of pico projectors coming out now. To my knowledge Optoma and Aaxatech are both on to their 2nd generation of these products. There's been enough reviews I think of the first gen stuff, so lets take a look at the 2nd gen...Optoma Pk-102 vs Aaxatech P2.

Optoma PK-102

There doesn't seem to be much difference between this and the PK-101. It's cheaper, but the lumens I'd expect to be the same, and the resolution is still the same, stuck on 480x320. It does have a bigger onboard memory of 4GB and 2000:1 contrast ratio, but would that contrast really be noticeable at 11lumens? The PK-102 is currently offered at $259

Aaxatech P2

While the P2 retains the same onboard 1GB memory, that's all these 2 units share. The P2 is slightly bigger and heavier, but it sports a whopping 33lumens. The battery is bigger to keep it running as long as the P1, and it features an onboard VGA connector now. The resolution has been upped to 800x600 vs the P1 which is 640x480. A vast improvement over it's predecessor but with an increased price tag too at $349.

So, looking over these 2 units, would you guys agree that the extra cost of the P2 is justified, also, I don't believe the PK-102 includes remote and tripod while the P2 does. Hmmmm.....

There doesn't seem to be much about the 2nd gen products yet, but they both look pretty good. But the P2 being almost 3x brighter, I'll admit the images are nice, but they both could use a bit more power which I think the P2 will provide.
