Budget projector bulb replacement

Location: Toronto/Canada

Budget: <$150 CAD

Use case: Outdoor movie night for 60"+ screen, upgrade from YG300 (which we have been using and is pretty bad, but usable in complete darkness for a small screen).

I found a BenQ MW824ST locally for $80 CAD, which would be plenty good for my use case but its lamp is already over its rated hours, so should probably be replaced soon.

Buying a new lamp from benq would be $150 CAD which seems a bit silly to be investing in something I only spent $80 for.

Chinese lamps seem to run $30-60 CAD which feels much more palatable, but is it a large risk?

Should I just try to find a different model with a less used bulb to just make things easy?

[Toronto, ON] [H] EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3 10GB GPU + CASH [W] Equivalent or better AMD GPU (6800XT +)

Card runs great, but I'm looking to swap to team red for linux related reasons.

Checking for any interest in a trade for any AMD Card in the same tier or higher than RTX 3080. Something like 6800XT, 6900XT, 7800XT or higher.

Willing to put cash on top for higher end models.

Send me any offers.

If no trade interest I will most likely put for sale on it's own later.
