One consideration might be how far you are moving. Across town, or across the state or country? I had to move one of my machines across town a couple of years ago. I decided not to break it down BUT: 1> I supervised the movers every moment they were with the machine. 2> I CLEARLY marked several spots with tape that said "DO NOT LIFT HERE". 3> I had the machine lifted onto a wheeled dolly, under my constant watch. 4> I paid extra to have them bring a truck with a lift gate so that the projector wouldn't have to be lifted into or out of the truck. 5> I told them where they could 'tie down' on the projector once it was in the back of the truck to keep it from shifting during transport.
I was only going across town, and was only moving the projector, a couple of equipment racks & some other stuff, so it was reletively easy to keep an eye on everything.
If you're only going a short distance, you might be able to get away with leaving everything assembeled, but make sure you superivse the movers every moment they are with your projector. If you're moving a longer distance, breaking the projector down might be safer, IMO.
