I recently sold my Acer H9500BD , which was 25 pounds , and then bought another Acer H6510BD , which was only 4.8 pounds. The 1st projector was also 3 times bigger than the other.
The new projector is smaller , lighter and superior in term of picture quality and brightness. The zoom/throw distance was also better. SO my question is , why such big, bulky unit , also comparable in size with high end brands such Sony, JVC, Epson etc are so expensive and bulky , and at the same time they are not offering any exceptional quality over the cheap 1080p projector , such my $500 Acer H6510BD ?
What is inside the case/hardware/ that cost and weight so much ?
Thanks !

Granted projectors have gotten lighter and significantly less expensive to get the same quality images than its older, larger, and heavier predecessors were getting years ago. They keep getting smaller, lighter and less expensive, BUT there are many cheap low priced projectors on the market than ever.
Why are some projectors lighter than others ? A big factor is how much light output it needs to produce. The more light output for that like at concerts are as big as a small car, movie theater projectors can also be quite large. Typically these larger projectors also need high resolution optics and processors as a larger image needs to provide very high resolution to get a quality image.
But when your comparing consumer projectors, sure older designed were bigger, heavier, for pretty much the same reasons. There are however many cheap quality projectors on the market, and many of these micro projectors honestly provide a very poor image, they don't have the light output, optics, and video processing to provide a good image.
So you will certainly want to be careful for anyone wanting to buy a projector, if image quality is important to you as it should.

i look for best brand name manufacturer for projector quality
Answer
No one name ... but some top end brands include Christie, Sim2 and Runco. For mere mortals JVC & Epson are top notch, but Optoma, Sony, In Focus, Sanyo, Mitsubishi, Panasonic and BenQ are all "name brand". See the link for a more or less complete list (the same site has reviews and recommendations for almost any need).
That all said, you really need to define your needs since projectors cover a wide range and some models will be better choices than others no matter what the brand.
