1.8 gain seems awfully bright. High screen gain will also limit off-center viewing.

Here's something to play with - ProjectorCentral's projection calculator. You can input your seating distance, projection distance, and room lighting conditions, and play with the amount of screen gain to estimate the amount of brightness you'll end up with.

The days of too-dim home projectors are pretty much gone - these days most projectors will put out more light than is necessary to produce a quality picture.
