Damn this thread moved fast. Depending on when this GB would happen and if it's not too late I'd be curious what a 593.5 GLP or other lower powered model would run since bloom said a high powered PL-III-C would start at around $900 several pages back. I'd something to fill the (small) WL gap between my 589 and 594 HeNe to complete my yellow collection. I have a feeling it may be cheaper go to through LG for a one off though.
FWIW those wanting super high powered 589s unless you're willing to pay out the nose $xxxx for a lab style unit 80mw is about as much as you're going to reliably get out of a handheld and those cost just under $600 USD before shipping in the previous GB. 80mw is still faintly visible here in my home office area with some sunlight coming in the window and 120w of overhead lights on. In a dark room or at night it's quite spectacular.
But with its shelf life problem , $600 USD for a laser that could go kaput on us is a real problem
