I bought my first laser about 4 years ago. It is an x45 from NOVA. It's been great and now i'm looking to buy my first blue laser. However I'm a bit confused over what's exactly out there these days. I've seen the lower powered ones all the way up to the 1W's.
Here are my points of interest:
1. I want something more powerfull than what I have now so I can still use it for pointing and as a conversation piece.
2. Why do the lower powered blues seem to be more expensive than the 1W models?
3. It's been a few years since i've purchased so I need to who is reputable these days and delivers on their promises of advertised power.
I get the impression that the 1W models may be way more power than I need. I basically want a good moderately powered blue that I can point with and get a good beam out of. Burning is not high on my list.
Thanks for your help.
