Pangolin have a vice-like grip. They've no need to change or improve their practises with so many large clients with lots of equipment. It's why QS and an FB3 are so cheaply available with so many new lasers, gets you firmly into the ecosystem and then the profits come later with restrictive licensing and amazing prices jumps. Not that there's anything a few annoyed individuals can do about it other than just not use them at all.
I guess there one can assume they're covering the option that you caused the damage through your own actions, because you're just some joe of course.
Which is nice, but reminds me I must go watch some more of your excellent videos in my beam correction research.
