How to interpret the differences
The Aurora Pro MKII is built around newer home-theater expectations: dynamic iris/laser dimming, advanced HDR formats, HDMI 2.1 connectivity and gaming modes. It also uses a shorter 0.21:1 throw ratio.
The Polaris is easier to justify as a discounted large-screen entry point. If you do not need high-refresh gaming or integrated HDR-format flexibility, the money saved can potentially go toward an ALR screen or audio system.
