You just entered the hobby last month, and you already want another laser. In a year there is good chance you'll be close to the thousand dollar mark. If you get really hooked, you'll be into the thousands of dollars in under 2 years. Just trying to buy a high watt dpss laser will run you into the thousand mark. This is not including if you get into projectors.
The laser hobby is very expensive. If you are the type who buys one laser, and only plays with it for a few days, then I will agree some cheap goggles are better than nothing. But when you find your desire for lasers increase, then you need proper equipment. This goes for all hobbies. And when any hobby involves dangerous equipment, then you'd be a fool to deal with half assed safety equipment.
You'd be very surprised how many people here have certified goggles. Its way more than you think. We only push these cheap goggles to n00bs who dont have the sense to get what they need.
So you have to ask yourself, do you want to be a n00b, or enthusiast? If you want to be an enthusiast then get with the program, and stop acting like a n00b.
