Notwithstanding the fact that I've purchased SF-AW210s myself, I've never really understood why they are appealing.
For ~$20 (usually, although HTD has a great price on the sleds now), you get a <200mW 405nm diode. When a 12x can do as much as 750mW for just $35, why would you go for the AW210?
- Of course there are some scenarios where you don't actually want a high powered laser, and that's a different story, but other than that, isn't something like the BW512L a much better bang for the buck?
