    At first glance it doesn't look too bad. However...

    I'd be inclined to ask them the individual powers of each laser. I would then ask for a (balanced white light) power reading at the aperture.

    I don't know the company, but they're UK based (as are you), so at least you've got half a chance under UK consumer law if something goes wrong.

    I wouldn't because of Modulation: TTL I think you would be better off just to avoid that.

    Bah... I'll take your word for it as I can't be bothered going back to take a look for myself , but I didn't notice it was TTL.

    You can also see the waiting room of the UK repairs facility if you look in the back ground of the picture. To me the laser looks like the box from goldenstar

    full colour laser with rich, deep saturated colours and true whites, plus, a maximum, super wide scanning angle of a massive 60°
    lol, a MASSIVE 60°

    yet able to take the knocks and blows of touring without misaligning
    lol, with a 3mm base plate...

    Wavelengths are calibrated closer to absolute white to generate stunning, natural white laser.
    lol, I doubt

    Smooth advanced graphics are achievable through tremendously fast and accurate galvos which can pass through an amazing 20,000 points per second.
    LOL, an AMAZING 20kpps...

    These graphical possibilities are enhanced through the narrowness of the actual laser beam which gives more flexibility when choosing imagery or in long distant projections
    lol, I guess : a 8mm diameter / 3mrad divergence red beam (as I already saw in such a projector...)

    Fully sealed optics and scanners
    I have serious doubts about this, this projector is a single stage configuration...

    Well, you asked some thoughts, here was my unbiased mine

    Doesn't say how many points it will do at 60 degrees so doesn't really mean anything!!!

    Hehe great choice you won't be disappointed However it wanna cost a bit more than the eBay one... But every extra penny is worth to my eyes, cheap is always too expensive

    By the way, the eBay projector is a Laserworld one... Not quite a good reputation here

    I don't think you'll regret Kvant. They are quality lasers.

    Just bear in mind the Elite is more suited to permanent installation so if you're going to be moving it about a fair bit, look towards a Spectrum.
    They say video games are bad for kids but if Pacman had affected us we'd all be running around in dark
    rooms, munching pills and listening to repetitive music.

    Glad to see you're not going for either of these Kel...

    I think this seller is the guy who did the hit and run sales of the Orion and other 'independent uk' lasers on eBay a few months back...

    Same location. Named Neil. Different Chinese c**p.

    That photo even has his sofa in it as his 'UK service site' seems to be his lounge! ;o)

    I'd avoid these like the proverbial plague!

    I'd agree with everyone else, having learnt the hard way...

    Buy a QUALITY projector or build it yourself from QUALITY parts and the QUALITY advice from the lovely people on here! )

    Think you'll have no worries with the Kvant... other than the hole it burns in your credit card! ;o)
    If in doubt... Give it a clout?
