First off this is my first post here, so hello everyone. I could use a little reassurance from those of you who have a bit more experience with this hobby then I. I just ordered my first laser, after about a week of reading this forum, and thank you for all the information. I had my mind set on a Nova X75, it was in my price range, seemed powerful enough for my first laser and was all around reputable, it was out of stock. So I looked at the X50, being cheap, also out of stock. On to the X100, out of stock. So I have an X125 on the way to my house, at about $100 more then I was planning on spending. I keep reading about people getting X100 rated at almost 120 mW, did I waist $50 going for the X125 just because I didn't want to wait for the X100 to be restocked? As a note I bought my X125 on sale for $265 if anyone was thinking that my prices were screwy.
