IMO any company that re-badges a 50mW unit as a 100mW and sells it is a bit shady.
I've never dealt with the company directly (other than asking them what kind of pump diode the unit has, which they would never directly answer, btw) so I cant say much about them. But from what I've heard from others and from this thread, it's not good.
