I believe that comes down to subjectivity since how wide is wide enough? I think bottomline is as long as the projector was designed for originally for HID, it should be good enough to be used as retrofit/transplant.
It is of my opinion that people do not like fresnel lenses not because it causes more twinkle above the cut-off, it's more because they're obsessed with the look of clear lenses as well as the razor-sharp cut-off. This is fine and dandy in the city (and in Europe) since in the States, there's enough street lighting in the cities to light up signs and in Europe, signs have lights.
But, if you take a longer road trip, those HID projectors with fresnel lenses will light up street signs better, giving just enough straylight above the cut-off to reflect off the paint.
Again, different strokes for different folks, but the fresnel lenses do serve a purpose and function. Whether it satisfies one's cosmetic cup of tea, that's a different story.
I think what one can conclude here is any HID projector > 300zx projectors. Actually, there's one additional exception. 350z's projectors also blow horse ass. They tried some reflector/projector combination and the lighting on those suck compare to HID standards.
