[Jewelry making - Article 00098] - [Orchid] Studio Versions Laser Welder

Howdy, howdy,

    Lately I have noticed that the various laser welder companies have
    been introducing smaller, less powerful "studio" versions which sell
    for considerably less than the larger high powered models. Which
    makes me wonder from a practical standpoint what exactly do the
    higher powered units do that the smaller versions cannot? 

    Is it that the higher powdered units can do the "jobs" (whatever they
    may be) faster and also perhaps be able to weld a wider variety of
    metals? 

    How about when used in a shop that does a lot of repair business...
    is there a huge advantage to having 100/120/150 joules rather than
    50/60/80 joules? 

    Any explanations of the differences and pros and cons of these
    welders is very much appreciated. 

Thanks,
