Can you tell me what makes PAnasonic better in your personal view?
I just loved the way it looked, is all. The difference between the two is miniscule, at best, so I think you' ll be happy with which ever you eventually choose.

Tell me how do 480p DVD movies (through RCA component) look on thoose projectors comparing to an CRT SDTV ?
I mean - is it better to buy some upscalling device?
Well, the size of the screen is really the only thing that makes a difference. When you blow up an image to 100" (or greater) it gets a little blurry. An upscaling DVD player makes a BIG difference (HD-DVD players upscale, BTW
).
With my projector, an upscaling device was necessary, as the one that' s built into the unit SUCKS! Since I needed something for sound anyway, I just got a receiver that upscales video signals to HD. It' s not so much an issue, anymore, as I don' t have any sources that aren' t HD. The REAL advantage of my receiver is that it allows video switching, which is essential considering projectors usually have only one HDMI and one component input.
The upscaler on the Panasonic is REALLY good. I don' t know about the Sanyo.

Do you think that Wii games (in 480p) might have some lag?
Nah!
What I' m saying is this: Go HD! For EVERYTHING! I' m, personally, gonna hook my Wii up to my CRT. Even with my projector being mounted near the ceiling, when you stand up in front of the couch your head blocks part of the screen (kinda like Mystery Science Theater 3000). I stand behind the couch to play Guitar Hero, but then I' m not waving anything above my head (like I' ll be doing with the Wii).
