My only beef with those are the button. I was wondering if it would be easy to swap the switch for a constant on/off.

I'm not sure. Just remember that doing so will probably void the warranty.

in a word...No... the Alpha is a very good laser the way it is, I just wrap a hair tie on it to hold the button down if I am going to burn things for a long period of time (3-4minutes) or if I need it to be on and steady :D

Yeah I would never do it I use a little zip tie to hold the button down. Also I email CNI about the duty cycle of these type of lasers. They replied saying they have a 1:1 cycle of 30 seconds and after that they decrease in power. :-? I leave my EnVee on for minutes and don't notice any power decrease and it barely gets warm.
