The Aura is not the "cream of the crop," it is just their most expensive short throw model. Does it have a battery? Can it long throw? No, no. And the Horizon Pro has HDR10. And the built-in speakers will never be good as easily and inexpensively added externals. You'd think after 30 years of this online reviews thing, sites would evolve and grow a bit smarter than this "what someone felt like typing based on the most surface details" thing. This might as well be printed in a magazine and sold in a mall.
