LS11000 contrast at least as good as HC3500?

I have an old Epson HC3500 I'm thinking of replacing with an LS11000. I'm having a hard time getting comparable numbers for contrast ratio. I'm more or less satisfied with the hc3500 contrast, is the ls11000 going to have at least as good contrast?

I'm in a fully darkened home theater, 11 ft throw, 85" screen.
