4k Projectors...

Have you checked into how close you need to sit to the screen for your eyeballs to effectively resolve 4k vs. 1080p?  And, if you then sit that close to the screen, how much of that screen is actually within your field of view?

You have a point.  I sit 11' to eyeballs from a 120" screen at 1080P.  At that distance, the screen pretty much fills my field of vision. According to this chart, that configuration gives full 1080P effect, but 4k is just starting to have an effect.  I'd need to sit about 8' from the screen to see full effect, and I suspect that would be uncomfortable.

Well, I upgraded my projector to an Epson 5050 this week.  But, not because of 4k (its actually fauxK).  The blacks on my old LG were going, and a new bulb didn't help, and there isn't a ton left out there that isn't 4k-ish.  I don's have a 4k source and per the below I don't think it makes sense to sit 9 feet from the screen!

That said, the 1080p picture is pretty outstanding out of the box, and even better with some calibration.  But man, the thing puts off some heat.  Its probably not far off from hair dryer heat production.
