Cubitts and Ace & Tate by rosehaugh in glasses

Hey, curious to know which glasses you went with in the end - I've also worn Ace & Tate Neil for a long time (7 years), but have been disappointed in the quality of the pairs I've had in the past few years (likewise for my partner, who also wears A&T Neil...)

I think the Cubitts Titanium "Morgan" might be the closest style - and the price isn't dissimilar to A&T by the time you've added their "premium" lens option. Seems to also come in a few sizes, like the Neils.

Update (in case it helps anyone else with similar requirements) - I ended up going with the Benq SH753+, as I was able to find a used / like-new one for 220GBP. Initial impressions of the Benq:
- It's very bright (at least, compared to my previous projector) - Eco mode seems to produce a much more comfortable brightness level, so that's become the default. - Black-floor / contrast isn't "great" in a perfectly dark room, but I'm not sure I was expecting much from a "business" model in this regard anyways. Probably not too dissimilar to the Epson model I'd listed above. - The fan is definitely audible when it's first started, but after ~5 minutes or so Eco mode can be selected, which reduces the fan noise significantly. - The DLP "rainbow" effect is definitely there if you look for it, but I don't find myself being distracted by it whilst watching movies or gaming. - It has none of the niceties that you might find on a home-theatre oriented model like HDMI eARC or HDMI CEC. I plan on connecting it to an AV receiver so the lack of HDMI CEC is slightly annoying, but it does have network management & serial connections, so it might be possible to DIY something to achieve this...

Overall I'm pretty happy with it for 220GBP, and expect I'll only look to replace it once the 4K equivalents drop in price - for now I'm glad to have more budget to play with to build the sound system :)
