x-series 125 vs fusion 125

[quote author=styropyro link=1191862252/0#13 date=1191964607]The X125 will burn better than the fusion because of beam diameter, but the downside of the tighter beam diameter up close means higher divergence. If you sell anything sell the 35mW and 75mW, and save up to get an RPL from optotronics.

:S 1.2mRad isnt that bad is it? Also im more of a small compact laser kind of guy =],

1.2mRad isn't bad, it's just higher because it has a thinner initial beam diameter.

although i dont know the output of my fusion, it can smoke almost anything thats black, smokes leather almost instantly, burns and etches into black plastics, lights matches from up to 5 ft, pop's balloons from up to 10ft sharpied. And it has a divergence of 0.9mRad <- i calculated from pseudo's divergence calculator. So you know i was using fresh lithiums at the time . Also it switches to TEM01 from time to time, but it only happened 3-5 times for me, and i was using rechargable batteries that were half charged. Should i still be getting an x-series? Or should i sell this one to get an x-series. I cant decide!

sounds like a pretty good fusion then
just hang on to it

the x125 is phenomenal if u can just get it in stock
NOVA rarely has them in stock
nova always over power their lasers so id go with the nova bro
