The Aeon CLR 5 is a strong comparison because it reaches 150 inches, is built for ultra-short-throw / triple-laser projection and publishes a 170° viewing angle—while using a higher 0.8 gain than the Black Series' 0.6.

0.6 gain vs 0.8 gain
Higher gain can increase on-axis brightness, but the comparison is not “higher is automatically better.” Gain interacts with room light, projector output, surface structure and viewing distribution. At 150 inches, brightness headroom becomes more important because the projector is illuminating a much larger area.
When each direction makes sense
The Black Series is worth focusing on if you want its lenticular 0.6-gain profile and the merchant's 95% ALR positioning. Aeon CLR 5 is especially relevant if you value its 0.8 gain, 170° published viewing angle and listed environmental certifications. Both remain fixed-frame, UST-oriented solutions, so room fit and projector geometry should decide before brand preference does.
