Digital projection is quite a bit brighter and more reliable and traditional transparency projection. Set up is also typically easier and more adaptable to a variety of room settings. Keep in mind that projection is typically a low-res mode of viewing (unless you are seated ortho or closer, which rarely happens unless you are in IMax territory and they are shooting 70 mm) and not very revealing of image quality. You will see much more examining a chrome on a light box with a well corrected loop than you will under the vast majority of projection situations.

At this stage, I reckon digital projectors are absolutely fine for their primary purpose - business presentations. They don't hold a candle to a projected 35mm slide, never mind a 6x6 one.

In my experience business slide shows are usually so badly done that the method really doesn't matter. The sharpest projected images I've ever seen were from an old fashioned lantern slide projector using 3-1/4 by 4-1/4 plates (or whatever the size for the old B&L prjectors was). 6x6 comes pretty close. There is to my eye the same difference with slides that one gets on prints: going from 35mm to any larger size negative is quite noticable.
