I like the color of 520 myself. The "gold standard" of green (as you know) for a very long time was 514 with red at 647. Most people still consider ArKr to be the cadillac of white. Then again, blue was 488 and Kr did bring some nice yellow to the table. I am guessing we are not going to see good CRI from diode projectors until an affordable 560+ hits the field. For me, what kills most modern projectors is 445. I hate that color in the RGB color scheme. I am anxious to give the 462's a whirl. I'm just waiting (probably wasting my time) for the single mode 462's to be mass produced. 1+ watts is overkill for my projector needs and multi-mode is always ewww.
I am with you on the modules though. They are all using the same diodes and optics that we have access to. Perhaps they are building better optical trains than other companies but they are still very expensive. The only laser I know of that is produced by a laser company is KVANT's DPSS red.

If you're the smartest person in the room, then you're in the wrong room.
