Hey Guys,

Some time ago, I opened a topic and you helped me choose the best laser for me. Well, last week I finally ordered the laser from DX. It says it's in stock, but it isn't, and they don't know when or IF new ones will arrive.
So, I come here one more time to ask for your help.

I was going to buy this laser.
DealExtreme: $31.90 Focusable 50mW Green Laser Pointer with Safety Key Lock (1*18650 Included)

Good reviews in DX and also here. Good videoreviews on YouTube. Focusable, nice host(anti-roll), key lock and, of course, an attractive price.
Well, I have now to find another laser, most likely from DX, to replace this one.
My first doubt is:

Do you think that the following laser is the same as the above one ?
DealExtreme: $33.60 50mW 532nm Stars Light Show Special Effects Green Laser Pen with Safety Key Lock (1*18650)

They have the same appearance, but this second one has star caps. It would be perfect if both were the same laser. I want your opinion. DX asked me if I wanted to swap the laser. That's why I'm asking you.

Do you suggest me any other green laser arround $30 and 50mW ?

Thanks, guys.

Edit: Sorry for eventual english mistakes. As you can see through my avatar, I'm brazilian, and english isn't my motherlanguage.

I know you're right, dave.
But that's why I was so interested on this laser.
At least 6 people have written positive reviews about the laser, confirming up to spec output. A similar one from O-like would cost me $42 + shipping. Yes, o-like is more trustful, but as soon as this laser has already been tested, I tend to trust this DX model.
LEDshoppe only has NewWish Style lasers, which I personally hate.

Anyway, thanks for helping.
