NexiGo Aurora Pro vs MKII — Which Pairs Better with My VIVIDSTORM S PRO Screen?

Hey everyone,

I’m currently using a VIVIDSTORM S PRO Floor Rising Screen (UST ALR), and I’m really happy with the setup. The screen quality is top-notch — sharp, high contrast, and great ambient light rejection for my living room setup.

Now I’m looking to upgrade my projector and I’ve narrowed it down to two models from NexiGo:

NexiGo Aurora Pro Ultra Short Throw Laser Projector

NexiGo Aurora Pro MKII UST Tri-Color Laser Projector

I’ve looked at the specs, and both seem impressive — tri-color laser, ALPD RGB Plus, Dolby Vision, etc. But I’m struggling to understand what real-world differences I might see between the two. The MKII is obviously more expensive — is the upgrade really noticeable when paired with a high-end screen like the S PRO?

I mostly use the setup for movies, sports, and some casual gaming. Room has decent light control, but the ALR screen makes a big difference already.

So I guess my main question is:
Has anyone tried either (or both) of these projectors with the VIVIDSTORM S PRO?
Is the MKII worth the extra cost? Or is the original Aurora Pro already a great match?

Would love to hear your thoughts before I pull the trigger!

Thanks 🙏
