OPT or Golden Star ?

[laserLips]

What do we think guys?

I'm nearly ready to buy a couple of new lasers. Of course I'd love some Unity Pro's but they are out of my budget.

So question is OPT Lasers or Golden Star Lasers?

I think I know who I'd go for but what do you think?

I upgraded to OPTlaser's PD3000 RGB projector with low divergence optics and DT-40 galvos. Very pleased with the beam quality & price, I ordered an identical W3000-RGB module for my 2nd DIY projector build.
Their sales staff and customer service have been excellent.
However, they have discontinued the iroduct lines below 4W.
But of course, my limited experience with OPTlaser doesn't reflect anything against Golden State Lasers, of which I've seen others recommending, as well.
Keep in mind the looming tariff wars against China. That could become a significant deal breaker.

Hi Roj.

I hadn't thought about the trade wars. I've literary just put my laser money all on a coin called FARTCOIN to ride this current crypto wave of recovery so I can afford a Pangolin discoscan and perhaps another laser. I'm in the UK but no doubt it will affect me too.

When is the war due to end and the final tarrif slapped on China? I hear DT already put 100% tarrif on. I'm not really following it.
And yes I have lasers from Golden Star only and have been talking with OPT lasers recently. Their prices and power beat Golden Star. The price of a 25 Watt is the same as the 6 Watt I got back in 2015. Mental.
The lasers I have now all from Golden Star have done many shows and in nasty conditions so heads up Golden Star - They have been really great to me. Their customer service is also very good.
But I think OPT next.
