People dont know about DIY lasers. And when they do find out, they over think it, and decide they cant do it. The Arctic is "the most powerful laser" and it looks like a light saber, so people are sucked in. I had one too, and had it gutted and upgraded. I still didnt like it. The size is what kills it for me. It not very portable, and is heavy. I dont really like the look of the ones made here either. The flashlight look has always turned me off. Egh's hosts are awesome though. I love mine. I've been after him to do me one in brass, but no word yet.
