magda, make the tea
If there's very little light you can use a 3k lumen one, they're pretty much standard for home theaters these days. anything higher does get very expensive.

The reason why you'd want one as bright as possible is because in comparison it makes the dark areas darker which helps sell the illusion. However you are looking at 5 times the price for twice the brightness (or $1500 for 1024x576), it is hard to justify.
for 8k lumens you're looking at $10k, and anything higher it gets silly. there's an 11k lumen one for close to 20grand - only does 720p too.
