what are the advantages?

Re.Item RF532-200mW-B03
We could pre-install the IR filter lens inside per your request the price is the same will not change.
But after IR filter the powr rating will be at 170mW around it is ok for you?

should i go through with it?

As IR is invisible and harmful, go for it.
You would only be getting 170mW of 532nm without it anyway. (the rest of the 200 would be the IR)
Granted, a cheap; IE: under $50, AR coated IR filter will lose a few mW through it, but unless you have an LPM, you would not notice the loss.

So in summation:
It will not cost you anything.
You won't notice the difference
The laser will be much safer.

Sounds good. Can't wait to get it. Used to have a 120mw bluray but had to sell it because of money reasons
