The 1280x800 is a higher resolution and as such, will provide you with more pixels to work with. in the case of a presentation, this could mean more working space on the projector or sharper pictures. WXGA and SVGA are basically just restating the resolution in a standard naming format. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wide_XGA)

The epson is the higher resolution but is heavier, requires more power, is louder by a tad (but still not too loud in my opinion), is much larger and the lamp is not an LED so it won't last as long (3,000 hours vs 20,000 hours but 3000 hours is still like an hour a day for 10 years)

Edit: not exactly sure if that epson is the model you are referring to.
