I'd agree with updated sampling. I've disqualified Mesh Warp from projects because of poor and hard to control resampling. You don't often notice the problems, until you replace the source with a checkerboard and it just looks terrible. We really needed it to work on another theme park project, but ended up doing it in RT using Christie Twist at the projector, which (ahem) did a fabulous job.
