Its just a 2.5W version of the original without some of the bells and whistles. The original version had 6w and a power meter measuring capabilities (calibration port) so this is just an attempt to compete with the lower end price wise diodes such as the Odyssey, Zap, Diolase etc.
I ask anyone who is considering a diode laser and is on a budget to look at the options out there listed above.
They all are solid options and can make a big difference to the practice and the bottom line.
I use my diodes each and every day.
