    I have been looking at lasers at shows for years, and was coming to
    the same conclusion, among other things because they have a ceramic
    chamber it is not damaged in use and does not need replacing as
    others do. A note is that in discussion at a March show in New York
    they were thinking about stopping selling to jewelers because their
    industrial sales were so strong, and the time and effort needed to
    sell to jewelers was much greater than that needed to sell for
    factory and production uses. (jewelers apparently complain about the
    price, haggle, etc while the big users just write a check for
    multiple units at once), not that I, alas, can afford one.....
