Wicked Lasers question.

[SBaker34]

I'm thinking about buying the S1 Sonar Lunar from wicked lasers its 200MW purple laser for only $90 however then I saw the E1 Executive Pulsar which is a 200MW red beam for only $50 is there any difference in power between the two or is it only color? Also I live in the states I am not so much concerned about if I "should" own it but if I bought would it come scaled down to 5MW or would I get it as its full 200MW?

I believe Wicked tests all their lasers so, you get what you pay for. Testing them all is how they find the "good ones" that are 200mW among the bulk that are ~5-10mW. Color affects the emitter cost which is why different colors of the same power cost different amounts (in addition to market premiums for popular colors).
