Sorry DJNY, I couldn't find your post again today when I was typing it up, so I thought I found the recommendation someplace else (I had actually already read that one). Thanks for the review link.
I have searched and read on this forum and some other internet sites and think I have narrowed down my choices and was hoping for some opinions/clarifications.
Here is what I think I know (regardless of Red or Green):
Use a IIIa rated laser (<5mw)
Should have an IR filter
Should have APC...
