Glenn -- After this is there going to be a CNI GB#11? Reason I ask is if I get my 671, and everything goes through with my 473, I still may want to go on and get a higher power 473 from CNI before (in my opinion) 473 drops off the face of the earth due to the 445 craze.
Yes, you should have another GB
I want to upgrade to a stronger green, in a PGL-III-C host, and I have some spare cash burning a hole in my pocket, I gotta get it out before it starts to burn into my leg:eg:
EDIT: Actually I may be getting a green used from another member here, but you should still do another GB, there is always something to get from CNI
I will almost surely do another GB, I don't know if the 445's will be a permanent change to happenings with laser companies, but it did seem to change the "game" this last month. I asked again just now when the package will be sent, I was told they need about 6 days to finish testing, rats!. ... Anyway, Thanks friends! -Glenn
I hope it changes it for the better, but I don't know. I see a lot of places dropping 473 sales like it's hot. And frankly, I'm not really "over" 473 yet.
445 is nice.... So will be 510/520. But manufacturers like CNI could probably make a little coin with some rarer DPSS wavelengths.
As far as testing goes... I really don't mind. I'm having CNI do some extra testing on my 473 before they ship it back -- better late than broken.
