Upgrade the projector or projector screen?

Hello Everyone!
 My Current setup: 
Epson 5030ub + Screen Innovations series 3 - solar white (1.3 gain) 100 inch diagonal.

I sit about 8 feet away from the screen and my HT setup is totally dark with grey walls. 

My goal is to upgrade the picture quality and I want to stay under or around $5k. 

My QUESTION: Should I upgrade to a Stewart Filmscreen StudioTek130 screen OR upgrade my Projector to a JVC DLA x790r or similar? 

What will make the biggest positive impact?

Why would you buy a white screen for a dark room? Your blacks are only as black as the screen, I would have gone with a 0.7gain or similar if my projector could handle that. It’d be like going from LED to OLED.

That said, not sure you should upgrade that over the projector, though the Epson is good.
