50mw - Ledshoppe or O-Like?

Hey there

A friend of mine wants a cheapo laser with visible beam so I think he should start off at 50mw since thats quite cheap stuff! So I thought about the one from o-like (http://www.o-like.com/b2b_cpinfo.asp?id=908) or the 50mw from LEDShoppe (http://www.ledshoppe.com/Product/ledp/LP1076.htm). Read good stuff about LEDShoppe! In case of broken device they send you a new laser without questions + you do not need to send back your broken laser! Nevertheless o-like has a great support, too! What do you guys think, should be quite equal in this price segment I guess?

Both companies are reliable and got great customer service. The product is the same, so I would go for ledshope this time.

Yours,
Albert

btw, which rechargeable AAA's do yall recommend?
Ledshoppe has 2 both at 1.2v :

I think Sanyo's Eneloop rechargeable is one of the best, if not the best rechargeable nimh out there! Please correct me if I am wrong ;P

140-180mw? lol! Unfortunately I don't have a LPM yet, so I could not measure the output of the ones I receive from LEDShoppe (ordered there)!
