Rayfosses 445 nm 1w blue laser?

Hello, I am new to these forums and this is my first post. I ordered my rayfoss 100mw green laser a few weeks ago and just received it yesterdY. It took 12 days from the time I ordered it to get to my front door. Wonderful customer support from Faona and a good laser. It's my first laser and I love it! Looks wonderful at night very bright. It lights matches(takes 20-30 seconds) and pops balloons.

The laser is good, sturdy, and makes me very happy for my first laser. But to the point of this thread. Has anybody had or heard anything about rayfoss' new 1w 445 nm blue laser yet? It's 215 dollars on their site. I know they don't have the highest quality or top end products but for 75 dollars my 100mw greenie makes me happy. I was just wondering if anybody knows anything about their 1w blue laser or not? I don't expect perfection but would love to make this my second laser since my budget is not very large. Any opinions or insure would be wonderful and greatly appreciated! And once again I'm new to this site so I hope to hear from you Guys thanks alot!

If you can find a DYI model here on the fourms (such as the ones Yobresal was selling) I highly recommended them over any production version(as I have one). That said, I also own a Spartan 1W 445 and I am very very please with the construction and beam profile.
