Final Verdict

Both are flagship 4K triple-laser UST projectors currently discounted off their original prices, with AWOL carrying the deeper discount. The O2S Ultra is brighter and remarkably light for a UST unit, with premium Dynaudio-branded speakers and Dolby Atmos/DTS:X support. The Aetherion Pro counters with a meaningfully higher stated contrast ratio and its own anti-rainbow-effect processing aimed at cleaner DLP images. Brightness, portability, and premium audio: O2S Ultra. The higher contrast spec: Aetherion Pro.
