He just did one post above. 
The guys over at PL know what they are talking about, I would believe that one would be extremely hard pressed to produce 250mw of 473nm independant of SHG choice. I think what the guy from PL was trying to say, as gooeygus stated, was that in a non-lab environment due to the extreme precission involved with any sort of DPSS laser (especially BBO), that 250mw would be about the maximum one could hope to achieve. Whether this is the "exact" max is not set in stone. The 943nm line of yag is very weak compared to the 1064nm line to begin with, it is so weak n fact that another line competes with it stealing power. IIRC (red DPSS 671nm line, so 1342nm).
Don't have any figures on hand but even BiBO with its 63% conversion efficiency (from your link), will be hard pressed to provide good figures. But keep us posted on the project, really interested in seeing how this turns out.
