NovaLasers X45

I just ordered an X45 with the following specs:
Average Output Power: 62.3 mW
Peak Output Power: 67.9 mW
I haven't received it yet but it seems like a lot of laser for the money. You guys agree?

Seems like a sweet deal to me.

That should easily pop balloons and if you're lucky you might be able to light sharpied matches with a lens.

Should lite a sharpied match without a lens. Great laser you have coming.

I received it this afternoon. It only took about four business days with standard $9.95 shipping which I found very impressive. This seems to be a good company to deal with.
Right out of the box I could tell the laser was very well made. The beam is bright and stable and I found the button to be very high quality. I am able to pop sharpied balloons with this guy but it doesn't seem to want to light matches. I'll keep experimenting. So far, I'm happy.
